Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Although research is ongoing and this is an interim publication, this critical group (or groups!) is finally beginning to make sense.

A good modern coverage that introduces several names that will be unfamiliar to British mycologists.

Examine Compound Microscope
Specimen PreparationMicroscopic examination of cap cuticle sections (as described on page 92) are essential. Spores may be useful too.
Identification difficultyCare needed. Cutting sections thin enough can be easier than wetting them afterwards!
