KEY TO FUNGI IN GLOMALES

The morphological character data set for glomalean fungi now is reasonably well defined and encompasses what we consider to be a broad sampling of taxa present worldwide. With ease of use of hypertext linkages, the time has come to generate a key which will aid researchers and others to identify taxa at all ranks, but especially species. This key is being developed cautiously because we want to insure that not only is it usable, but accurate as well. It is based largely on data collected from reference species in INVAM because of ease in documentation.  It will take some time to complete, but we have started with a key to genus to give you some idea of organization.  In the meantime, all other phases of this project are UNDER CONSTRUCTION
