Notes.

Based on ITS sequences, Lokruma is comprised of 35–40 species, some of which are represented by sequences EUK 1200048 (GSMc plot G 5130, grassland soil in Angera, Italy, 45.77336 ° N, 8.59657 ° E); EUK 1602967 (GSMc plot G 4626, Picea - Populus forest soil in Kõrve, Estonia, 59.07754 ° N, 26.76144 ° E); and EUK 1603058 ( Picea abies forest soil in Serga, Estonia, 57.76052 ° N, 27.47502 ° E). Given the relatively high intraspecific differences and low interspecific differences, the LSU region is not optimal for distinguishing species of Lokruma .
