[edit] Tubaeformis Genus

Why does the article say that the yellowfoot is a member of the genus Craterellus (Craterellus tubaeformis) yet the external link to mykoweb says Chanterellus tubaeformis. Which is right? Michaelll 00:57, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

It appears that following DNA testing that the species tubaeformis has been moved from genus Chanterellus to genus Craterellus, see http://www.mushroomexpert.com/cantharellus_clade.html.

And molecular phylogenetics is not the only line of evidence for this. The morphological affinity of yellowfoots and black-trumpets is pretty evident. Peter G Werner 05:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
