Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A detailed taxonomic account of the eye-lash fungi of the World. The first half of the work is a cladistic analysis. This is followed by the key to species (p52) based mainly on ascospore characters, then the individual species accounts. |
Examine | with a Microscope using 100x oil-immersion ( Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is also useful) |
Specimen Preparation | Sections or squashes in water, Cotton blue, and/or Melzer’s reagent. |
Identification difficulty | A tricky group. Identification is largely based on spore ornamentation and excellent microscope optics are needed to correctly interpret this. |
