Description: As reported by Markus Englund the name parser fails to parse sanctioned fungus names from Persoon or Fries that contain colons.
The names includes the fungal names sanctioned by
Persoon or Fries. These names are all written with a "colon-author
indication", which means that the authorship contains either ": Pers." or ":
Fr.". Here is an example: "Merulius lacrimans (Wulfen : Fr.) Schum."

More infos from http://www.first-nature.com/fungi/facts/citation.php:
Currently accepted binomial names of fungi therefore include many that were first named by authors prior to the 1821 publication by Fries or the 1801 publication by Persoon, where those names were sanctioned (retained) by Fries or Persoon. They are cited showing the original authority and the sanctioning authority. For example:
Agaricus campestris L.: Fr.
shows that Linnaeus named the Field Mushroom as Agaricus campestris and that Fries retained that name in his 1821 publication. An alternative form of writing this name, again acknowledging the original contribution by Linnaeus, is:
Agaricus campestris L. ex Fr.
