Sr. Editor. El reino de los hongos (Fungi) es uno de los grupos de mayor diversidad en el planeta tierra, estimaciones sugieren que la diversidad de este grupo es hiperdiverso. Estimaciones como 1.5 M de especies (Hawksworth 1991) que fueron aceptadas y que actualmente con las tecnicas de moleculares este valor fue subestimado. Ultimas estimaciones sugieren que existiera entre 3.5 a 5.1 M de especies (O’Brien et al. 2005), sin embargo algunos autores mencionan que podria existir 9.9 M de especies de hongos (Cannon 1997). Hasta la fecha aproximadamente se han descrito 100000 especies (Kirk et al. 2008) que equivaldria a 2.8% (en base a 3.5) descubiertos a nivel mundial.
