Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Genera of Fungi
Questions of nomenclature have necessarily been left largely to one side, but no hesitation has been felt in making certain corrections. These have dealt mostly with mistaken or neglected transliteration, and with faulty composition. A considerable number of sesquipedalian words have been shortened, and the greater number of hybrid names have been corrected. These corrections have been made in such a way as to retain as much of the original name as possible. Corrections are indicated by the sign 'l' with the original form in parenthesis below. New genera are designated by an asterisk, and are listed with their types on a later page.
