Abstract
Abstract Type and frequency of spore ornamentation of Russula, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy. – The spores of 30 species of Russula have been examined by scanning electron microscopy. The following characters have been considered: shape of spores, type of ornamentation, and frequency of the ornaments per unit area. The ornamentation frequency data have been elaborated statistically by variance analysis and Duncan's test. It has been demonstrated that these characters alone do not always allow a clear-cut discrimination of the species. However, it seems that they can be used together in the elaboration of a dichotomic key which may help to clarify some controversial points in the classification of the species of Russula.
