VOUCHER SPECIMENS OF Glomus coremioides

= Sclerocystis coremioides

This species was the last remaining member of Sclerocystis until 18S rDNA sequences revealed it's position in the center of the Glomus clade. With this evidence, and the continuum of an evolutionary increase in complexity of sporocarp formation in the genus, S. coremioides was transferred to Glomus (Redecker et al., 2000).
