A. Altes et G. Moreno, Notes on type materials Tulostoma (Tulostomataceae), T-macrosporum, T-meridionale and T-utahense, PERSOONIA, 17, 1999, pp. 259-264
A study of the macroscopic and microscopic characters of type materials of
Tulostoma macrosporum, T. meridionale and T. utahense is presented. The syn
onymy of the two latter species, that was proposed some years ago, is now v
erified. Tulostoma macrosporum is very close to them, but shows enough diff
erential features to be maintained as an autonomous species. SEM photograph
s of the spore ornamentation are provided.
