Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A short paper updating the British species of this genus in the light of recent continental (French) work. The species are described, their microscopy illustrated and a key is given. The species can, to some extent, be identified in the field, but reliable identification relies on microscopy. |
Examine | Compound Microscope |
Specimen Preparation | Dried specimens mounted in Congo Red in ammonia |
Identification difficulty | Relatively straightforward, although care is needed to separate V. alni from the very common V. comedens. |
