| 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 Preparation | Microscopic examination of cap cuticle sections (as described on page 92) are essential. Spores may be useful too. |
| Identification difficulty | Care needed. Cutting sections thin enough can be easier than wetting them afterwards! |
