Mycologists usually split the macro-fungi into several major
groups, such as jelly fungi, bracket fungi, boletes (sponge
mushrooms), gill fungi, and so on. These names are descriptive
in a general way, and it's a fairly easy task to decide the
group in which your specimen belongs. If you've observed some
or all of the features listed above, you're ready for the next
step, identifying to genus.
It's time to use a key. |
