discussion |
RET's old view that the subhymenium of this species was not composed of inflated cells must be attributed to his misinterpretation of the collapsed tissues of the holotype, which he reviewed when he was inexperienced. Modern collections of the species show he was in error. RET's provisional name "A. canadensis" should be referred here because his idea that he was viewing a specimen distinct from A. peckiana was based in part on the above mentioned mistake. An edited version of RET's type study should be placed on this page and supplemented by recently collected data. | ||||||||

Each spore data set is intended to comprise a set of measurements from a single specimen made by a single observer; and explanations prepared for this site talk about specimen-observer pairs associated with each data set. Combining more data into a single data set is non-optimal because it obscures observer differences (which may be valuable for instructional purposes, for example) and may obscure instances in which a single collection inadvertently contains a mixture of taxa.
