          The fungal dimension of biodiversity is seriously discussed
          by D. L. Hawksworth in Mycological Research 95: 641-655.
          1991.  His conservative estimate of fungal species is around
          1.5 million, 6 times higher than previously allowed.  Better
          get some more fungal taxonomists trained!
