The Journal 15(4): 11-16.
- CONTENTS: The authors answer a query as to how amateur mycologists
should proceed when they think they've found a new species
by humorously outlining the references to consult, the nomenclatural
rules to follow, and how to check taxonomic conclusions. "But
beware! If the feature is mind-boggingly different from all
others in the genus, are you sure you have it in the right
genus?"

on agreement? Mushroom, The Journal 15(3): 12-13.
- CONTENTS: An investigation of the ins and outs of agreement
between adjectives and Latin and Greek based genus names illustrated
by Bulgaria globosa and Sarcosoma globosum.
"Unfortunately there are cases (especially when Greek is Latinized)
where endings do not match so tidily. "-soma" is neuter."

Inoculum
48(3): 28.
- CONTENTS: Since 1991 an unusually large number of collections
and excavations of Phaeocollybia basidiomes from western
North American coastal coniferous rainforests has helped advance
morphological, developmental, and biological knowledge of
this FEMAT-flagged agaric genus. Dissection and microscopical
observation of numerous primordia confirm the generic significance
of pellicular veil and tibiiform diverticula and suggest a
(pileo) stipitocarpic monovelangiocarpy for a genus with a
hitherto unexplored ontogeny. Examination of intact pseudorhizae
reveals the existence of four different pseudorhizal growth
patterns and implies a rhizomorphic function for some of the
thread-like stipe extensions (now called "rhizomorphic pseudorhizae")
on Phaeocollybia attenuata, P. rufotubulina, and P.
scatesiae basidiomes. Examinations of rootlets excavated
with pseudorhizal origins from several different species continue
to provide support for an ectomycorrhizal hypothesis for the
genus. Computerized multivariate, phenetic, and cladistic
analyses of morphological and RFLP-based molecular character
sets have been used to help circumscribe numerous new taxa
and support the existence of 30 species in British Columbia,
Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and California. (See also Projects:

harvest in western North America. Mycotaxon 65: 285-322.
- CONTENTS: This is the first detailed account of the identity
of the commonly harvested western chanterelle, which is here
named the Pacific Golden Chanterelle. The type locality for
the name Cantharellus formosus E.J.H. Corner (1966)
on Vancouver Island, was located and visited to procure fresh
specimens for DNA analysis. A description with illustrations
is published. A new chanterelle, the Rainbow Chanterelle (Cantharellus
cibarius var. roseocanus Redhead, Norvell & Danell)
is described, illustrated, and compared to C. formosus.
Documentation of harvesting is recorded. (See also Projects:
Chanterelles)

to society at large and science, told with dry humor. "But,

in Wyoming to those in the Pacific Northwest trying to save
it, you'll want something more than your word and impeccable
taxonomic skills."
