Abstract
Umbelopsis nana displays great morphological variability in its reprod uctive structures. Although 26 of 35 known different morphologies were characterised in the present study, relatively few of these appeared to be diagnostic. This raises intriguing questions concerning the esta blishment of ground rules for taxonomic concepts in fungi, and for the process of identification.
