Morphological approaches in studying fungi: collection, examination, isolation, sporulation and preservation

Open access
Senanayake, IC·2020·Mycosphere

Abstract

Traditionally, fungal taxonomy was based on observable phenotypic characters.Recent advances have driven taxonomic conclusions towards DNA-based approaches and these techniques have corresponding pros and cons.Species concepts must therefore rely on incorporated approaches of genotypic, phenotypic and physiological characters and chemotaxonomy.Examination and interpretation of morphological characters however vary from person to person.Standardized procedures are used in the taxonomic study of fungi and general practices of phenotypic approaches are herein outlined.It is not possible to detail all techniques for all fungi and thus, this paper emphasizes on microfungi.Specimen collection is the initial step in any

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
