This page should not be speedy deleted because... I didn't create this page and don't have the journal access to expand it - but these are a proposed class of fungi. See this article in Science. Perhaps WikiProject Fungi could help? --Ka Faraq Gatri (talk) 20:42, 16 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

That was a useful suggestion - I pinged them and, as you can see, they did indeed help. JohnCD (talk) 11:22, 17 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Split? edit

For monotypic taxa, we normally create a single article for all ranks together. In this case, though, it is known that there are many undescribed species in addition to the single described one, so it may make sense to have separate articles for the class Archaeorhizomycetes and the species Archaeorhizomyces finlayi. There's a similar situation with the animal phylum Placozoa, where we have a separate article for the only described representative, Trichoplax. Ucucha (talk) 22:57, 21 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

There are probably also numerous genera and families, and probably orders. I wasn't sure exactly how to deal with this- covering them in the same place was definitely meant to be a temporary solution. Seeing as there is no definite indication of other genera/orders, but there is certain indication of other species, that solution makes sense. J Milburn (talk) 09:26, 22 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
