- Sparassis - Things may be looking up, but not this
mushroom hunter (The Regular Column). Mushroom, The Journal
5(4): 26-28.
- CONTENTS: The author covers the differences between the
tree-dwelling Hericium and the trunk-hiding Sparassis.
"I may be one of the select few who knows (or even cares to
know) that our western Sparassis radicata is more properly
greeted in Latin with Sparassis crispa. I even know
that the eastern Sparassis crispa (or S. herbstii)
now bears the proper appellation of Sparassis spathulata.
Some of you Sparassis finders out there might find
all these names confusing. I don't. What I find confusing
is finding Sparassis."

- CONTENTS: The University of Kansas Russian Summer Institute
introduces the author to butterfly weed, poison ivy, and Agaricus
in a cemetery. "The previous week we had been trapped indoors
by a spectacular series of summer thunderstorms. These thunderstorms,
responsible for developing that oppressive humidity known
only to Amazonian jungles and the American Midwest, had activated
the subterranean mycelial strands (about which I still knew
nothing) so that an immense fairy ring of white mushrooms
had bolted out onto the meadow floor." List of Agaricus
synonymies. Cartoons. (See also Projects: Agaric Taxonomy
and Nomenclature)

- CONTENTS: An introduction to the colorful world of Ascomycetes,
with a list of species synonymies. "In a burst of realistic
fervor, the good Doctor Phillips had recognized the previous
evening that mycology students tend to view spring as an ideal
time to ignore the tedium of taxonomy and to launch forth
instead on the ultimate romantic quest: The Search for the
Holy Morel." Species discussed include Sarcoscypha coccinea,
Geopyxis carbonaria, Anthracobia melaloma, Peziza domiciliana,
Aleuria aurantia, Caloscypha fulgens, Scutellinia scutellata,
Otidea leporina, Bisporella citrina, Tarzetta catinus, Microglossum

- A Romp through Lepiota (The Regular Column).
Mushroom, The Journal 5(1): 14-16.
- CONTENTS: An introduction to Lepiota sensu lato and
a list of the segregate genera into which they have been placed.
"The name Lepiota (from the Latin "lepis" meaning "scaled")
refers to a genus in which there is no one single feature
that differentiates its gaggle of cheerfully cohabiting species
from those parceled out into other less cheerful genera."
