Abstract
Here we present the novel 'taxon hypothesis' (TH) concept to accommodate fungal 'species hypothesis' (SH) into existing classification frameworks for taxonomic communication. As supplied with Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), THs are flexible in time and enable direct cross-communication of higher level taxa along with evolving classification schemes. Every TH includes given number of SHs and consequently fixed number of fungal rDNA ITS sequences. DNA sequences generated by High-throughput or Sanger sequencing studies and identified against UNITE SHs will be automatically assigned to THs as well.
