Recently, it has been indicated that systematics is of no value to the traditional Chinese medicinal studies and industry of macrofungi. As a fungal taxonomist, I use three genera of the most famous medicinal macrofungi, viz. Sanghuangporus, Ganoderma and Ophiocordyceps, as examples to rebut this opinion. Generally, the well-established systematics are helpful in using correct Latin names for fungal species in medicinal studies; furthermore, the resulting medicinal functions can be exactly matched to a particular species; finally, the particular species can be applied for permissions of utilization in traditional Chinese medicinal industry. Therefore, systematics is crucial for unlocking the potential of macrofungi as valuable resources to be developed in the traditional Chinese medicinal studies and industry, and should continue to be of interest to not just fungal taxonomists but also biochemists, pharmacists and businessmen.

近来，已经表明，系统学对于大型中药研究和大型真菌产业没有价值。作为真菌分类学家，我使用了最著名的药用大型真菌的三个属，即。Sanghuangporus，灵芝和Ophiocordyceps，以此为例来反驳这种观点。通常，完善的系统研究有助于在医学研究中为真菌种类使用正确的拉丁名称。此外，由此产生的医学功能可以与特定物种完全匹配；最后，该特定物种可以申请中药产业的使用许可。因此，系统分析对于释放大型真菌的潜力至关重要，因为这种潜力可作为在传统中药研究和工业中开发的宝贵资源，不仅真菌分类学家而且生物化学家，药剂师和商人也应继续关注大型真菌。
