Abstract
In a study of spore wall pigments of eleven species of the Orders Lice ales and Trichiales - taxa which are traditionally separated from the dark-spored Orders Physarales and Stemonitales by their variously colo ured spores - it was found that even in these bright-spored Orders, me lanin was present in the spore walls of all the species. In addition, there were several organic-solvent-extractible pigments, usually in lo w amounts.
