Summary:Fungal species are dif–cult to identify. The organisms are complex from a biological perspective, which contributes to the identi–cation problem. Investigations involving human mycoses and mycotoxinoses require an improved comprehension of the structure and behavior of fungal populations. (We have employed the term mycotoxinoses as the fungal equivalent of bacterial toxinoses.) However, an understanding of the speciation, population biology, phylogeny, and evolution of fungi is not so developed as for other organisms [1].
