intro |
Olive text indicates a specimen that has not been
thoroughly examined (for example, for microscopic details) and marks other places in the text
where data is missing or uncertain. The following material is based on original research by R. E. Tulloss. | ||||||||
basidiospores | [253/13/3] (7.7-) 9.8 - 14.0 (-20.8) × (4.9-) 5.6 - 7.0 (-9.0) μm, (L = 10.7 - 12.8 (-13.2) μm; L' = 11.6 μm; W = 6.0 - 6.7 (-6.9) μm; W' = 6.3 μm; Q = (1.40-) 1.50 - 2.27 (-2.75); Q = 1.67-2.07 (-2.12); Q' = 1.85), hyaline, colorless, smooth, thin-walled, amyloid, ellipsoid to elongate to cylindric, occasionally expanded at one end, very rarely constricted; apiculus sublateral to subapical(?), cylindric; contents guttulate; ?? in deposit. | ||||||||

Each spore data set is intended to comprise a set of measurements from a single specimen made by a single observer; and explanations prepared for this site talk about specimen-observer pairs associated with each data set. Combining more data into a single data set is non-optimal because it obscures observer differences (which may be valuable for instructional purposes, for example) and may obscure instances in which a single collection inadvertently contains a mixture of taxa.
