Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This is an impressive paper, well written, great consistency in presentation, and perhaps most importantly, a clear and through discussion of decisions at all taxonomic ranks.  Excellent job@

Thank you for your affirmation.

Reviewer 2 Report

The presented work is an excellent collection of phylogeny, taxonomy, chorology and ecology of fungi of the genus Hyphodontia sensu lato from practically all over the world. The authors comprehensively describe the phylogeny of this genus of fungi, from the past to the present.

A great contribution of the work are new taxonomic findings, developed identification keys based on the latest molecular - genetic methods of studying this group of fungi. The authors describe new species of fungi of the genus Hyphodontia s.l. for science, which is a significant contribution to taxonomic issues. Exact data on the phylogenetic development of fungi of the genus Hyphodontia s.l. obtained by molecular - genetic methods will undoubtedly find their application in mycological phylogenetics and taxonomy.

As the authors state: “The aim of the current study is to further explore the species diversity of Hyphodontia sensu lato in the Asia-Pacific region, and more importantly, to construct a more natural taxonomic system of Hyphodontia sensu lato within the Hymenochaetales, based on multi locus phylogenetic analyzes. In addition, the trait evolution of basidiocarps within Hymenochaetales is explored. ”Undoubtedly, this is a challenging goal, but the authors have consistently met it, mastering complex and demanding methodological procedures.

I do not attach the text of the article, as I did not add any comments of the reviewer to the article. However, I am attaching Table S1, at the end of which I wrote a few notes.

            I have no comments on the submitted work, I can say that the work has a good design and the authors followed the editorial guidelines when writing the work. I recommend publishing the work.
