Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A very detailed exposition of these small to minute cup fungi with hairy apothecia. An indented key to genera is followed by detailed treatment of each with indented keys to species. The species accounts at half a page or so include drawings of habitus, LS, and microscopy. Still useful, alongside Ellis & Ellis (Land Plants) etc. A companion to the Revision of the British Helotiaceae, by the same author. |
