| intro |
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 not from the article cited immediately below is taken from original research by C. Rodríguez-Caycedo and R. E. Tulloss. The published description can be found in (Miller, Lodge & Baroni, 2000). | ||||||||||||||||||||
| basidiospores | from Miller et al. (2000): [-/-/-] 7.0 - 10.0 (-10.5) × 5.0 - 7.0 μm (Q = 1.0 - 1.7; Q' = 1.31) subglobose to elongate, "occasionally globose," hyaline, thin-walled, inamyloid; apiculus not described; contents sometimes "with oil bodies"; color in deposit not recorded. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ecology | from Miller et al. (2000): Gregarious. At 350 m elev. and above. In moist subtropical forest. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| discussion |
Miller et al. (2000) note: "Our spores have [Q'] = 1.31 while those described by Pegler are 1.56." [Note: Square brackets in the quoted text indicate the change of the symbol by the editor for conformity with the notation used on this site.—RET] A comparison of the sporographs is difficult because, at the moment, it is necessary to estimate a range of Q (based on Pegler's reported Q' in the case of A. chrysoleuca. Moreover, we know nothing about the sample size employed by either author; and we don't know whhether we can interpret their data ranges as we do ours. Nevertheless, a comparison of sporographs may be useful: | ||||||||||||||||||||

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.
