Index of Fungi, especially Paul Kirk, and to Cees Bas, Jaime Bernardo Blanco Dios, Guy Garcia,
Zu-Wei Ge and Zhu-Liang Yang, Andreas Gminder, Jacques Melot, Hidetsuga Miwa, Pierre-
Arthur Moreau, Shaun Pennycook, Beatrice Senn-Irlet, Rod Tulloss, Nicolas Van Vooren, and
Ruben Walleyn, and to the librarians of the Nationaal Herbarium in Leiden, the Netherlands, the
Bioscience library of UC-Berkeley, U.S.A., and the Farlow Reference Library at Harvard
University, Cambridge, U.S.A., who tend such excellent collections. John Lennie helped me find
inconsistencies, discrepancies, entries which were out of alphabetical order and gave me general
advice on organizing this list.
