TitleVital versus herbarium taxonomy: morphological differences between living and dead cells of ascomycetes, and their taxonomic implications
TypePaper
SourceMycologia vol 44 (2): 333-390.
IllustrationsLine drawings illustrating the great differences between fresh material and the state in which it is usually observed.
Review (by Malcolm Storey)An important paper and well-argued paper championing the use of water as a mycological mountant, to observe fungal cells in a living state. The author also favours Lugol’s Iodine over Melzer’s for ascomycetes.
