The taxonomy of wood destroying fungi has changed noticeably within the last ten years. New genera and more well defined generic concepts have emerged with concomitant and necessary changes in nomenclature. The following is a revision of a list originally prepared by Kaarik (1979) in collaboration with Professor Dr. C. Jacquiot (France), Mr. J. G. Savory (United Kingdom) and Dr. G. Seehann (Federal Republic of Germany). It was also revised by Professor Dr. J. Eriksson, Gothenburg University Sweden and Dr. D. N. Pegler, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England. Herr H. Becker, Dortmund, Federal Republic of Germany, has contributed with a list of German names.
