| intro |
The following text may make multiple use of each data field. The field may contain magenta text presenting data from a type study and/or revision of other original material cited in the protolog of the present taxon. Macroscopic descriptions in magenta are a combination of data from the protolog and additional observations made on the exiccata during revision of the cited original material. The same field may also contain black text, which is data from a revision of the present taxon (including non-type material and/or material not cited in the protolog). Paragraphs of black text will be labeled if further subdivision of this text is appropriate. 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 derived from the protolog of the present species. | ||||||||
| basidiospores | from protolog: [4/5/2] (5.6-) 6.1 - 7.4 × 4.9 - 6.9 μm, (Q = 1.0 - 1.10 (-1.30); Q = 1.05 - 1.08), with slightly thickened wall, amyloid, globose to subglobose, rarely broadly ellipsoid; apiculus prominent; contents not recorded; color in deposit not recorded. | ||||||||
| ecology | In "riverine and adjacent slope forest dominated by Dicymbe corymbosa (Paluwayek) with scattered hardwoods including Caryocar sp. in wet bottomlands, on sandy soils with thick root mat and organic accumulations. ...." | ||||||||
| material examined | from protolog: GUYANA: POTARO-SIPARUNI—Pakaraima Mtns., Upper Ireng watershed - ca. E bank of Sukabi R., ca. mouth of Kukuinang Crk., 1.5 km along S bank of Kukuinang Crk. 16.ii.1997 T. Henkel et al. TH6255 (paratype, BRG; paratype, L); 0.2-1 km downstream from Kurutuik Falls, slopes adjacent to W side of river, 15.ii.1997 T. Henkel et al. TH6229 (holotype, BRG; isotype, L). | ||||||||

Spore data sets and their composite
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.
