Abstract

Collecting details and sites visited are outlined, with most specimens collected in Australia, Brunei, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and the Philippines. Senescent leaves, bark, stems and seeds of Freycinetia, Pandanus, and Sararanga were collected in the field. However, most fungus specimens were found on decaying leaves due, largely, to the scarcity of other decaying organs. Handling of the material is described together with incubation of the dead material under high humidity conditions to induce fungal sporulation. The preparation of microscope slides is outlined and the principal reference sources used for identification of the microfungi are listed. There is a brief outline of the history of the taxonomy of anamorphic fungi.
