The sclerodermatoid fungi

  • REVIEW
  • Published:
Mycoscience

Abstract

Those fungi that have been linked to the gasteroid genus Scleroderma by molecular techniques are discussed in relation to secondary metabolites, development, spore morphology, and anatomy. The group contains epigeous and hypogeous components and sequestrate and boletoid members. An intratribal classification is proposed to accommodate these life forms.
