Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A very detailed guide to these small to minute pyrenomycetes. The key to groups is followed by the keys to species and species descriptions of each group. The descriptions occupy a couple of pages and typically include previously published data, a description of the perithecial stage, culture information including a description of the conidial phase, line drawings of habitus and perithecial and conidial microscopy, and a list of specimens examined. List of hosts at the back. Still useful, alongside Ellis & Ellis (Land Plants) etc |
