Glomeromycota missing from tree, supposedly due to conflict, but not according to the "conflicting" paper #589

Currently Glomeromycota is marked as non monophyletic:

But the study that purportedly "breaks" the monophyly seems to suggest a monophyletic Glomeromycota:

I'm wondering if there's a funny taxon mapping mistake here, but I'm not skilled enough in OpenTree-fu to figure out what's going on exactly. It seems weird that the Acaulosporaceae is still at the top level of fungi in the OpenTree, when this study places them sensibly, however.

the tree in the Open Tree curator was incorrectly rooted. I have fixed that. So this should be resolved when we build the next synthesis. I'm hoping to start that today.
