[edit] number of phyla

I deleted the reference to "the six recognised fungal phyla" because I thought it was repetition of what anybody that wants to know this can find out from fungus. Secondly, it is misleading as there are plenty of fungi that are not included in these six (e.g. Zoopagomycotina, Kickxellomycotina, etc...), so the true number is 7,8, possibly 9. Opening an article in this way is very waffly. Bendž|Ť 20:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Well I certainly appreciate the fact that you edit many of the fungal pages in Wikipedia and are well up on recent literature, but "waffly" really does not apply here. Basically what you are saying is that the group of 67 professional mycologists worldwide from Canada, China, Estonia, France, Germany, Japan, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, the USA, and the UK, who for the first time ever have reached a consensus based upon recent molecular data, and who hesitated to recognize where Zoopagomycotina etc. go, but did recognized 6 phyla at this time, are waffling. How is citing it this way misleading? Yes, there may be more recognizd in the future, but for now, given the reference, only 6 were "recognized". Heliocybe 12:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
