Twenty-eight species in the family Lycoperdaceae, commonly called ‘puffballs’, are reported from Arizona, USA. In addition to widely distributed species, understudied species (e.g., Calvatia cf. leiospora and Holocotylon brandegeeanum) are treated. Taxonomic descriptions and illustrations, which include microscopic characters, are given for each species, and a dichotomous key is presented to facilitate identification. Basidiospore morphology was also examined ultrastructurally using scanning electron microscopy, and phylogenetic analyses were carried out on nrRNA gene sequences (ITS1, ITS2, and 5.8S) from 42 species within (or closely allied to) the Lycoperdaceae.

    C ONTENTS Introduction 2 How to use this booklet 3 Fungi - the essential facts 4 Explaining the basics 5 Looking at fungi in the field 6 Looking at fungi in the classroom 7 Experimenting with fungi 8 How do fungi grow? 9 Where do fungi grow? 10 What's in a name? 11 Fungal history and folklore 12 Fascinating fungal facts 13 How much do you know about fungi now? 14 Worksheets 15 Appendices 34 Glossary 44 Amanita muscaria (Fly agaric) (Roy Anderson) I NTRODUCTION Background The idea for this booklet came at a weekend workshop in York, which was organised by the Education Group of the British Mycological Society (BMS) for members of Local Fungus Recording Groups. These Groups identify and record the fungi present in their local area and promote their conservation. They also try to encourage an interest in the importance of fungi in everyday life, through forays, talks and workshops. The aim of the weekend was to share ideas (and hopefully think of new ones) of how to promote the public understanding and appreciation of fungi. This booklet is the result of those deliberations. Who can use this book? The booklet is aimed at anyone faced with the prospect of talking about fungi, whether to a school class, science club, local wildlife group or any other non-specialist audience. If you are a novice in this field, we aim to share a few tips to help you convey some basic facts about this important group of organisms. If you are a skilled practitioner, we hope that you will still find some new ideas to try.
