Notes
Tardieu-Blot describes the spores of A. boryanum as ‘depressed tetrahedral with convex faces finely punctate’ but her fig. 24/12 shows a monolete ellipsoid spore and paraphyses with long slender stalks and obconic heads. My observations on Mabberley & Salehe 1467 show monolete ellipsoid spores but much shorter paraphyses with large dark red or black globose heads.
