Larsen MJ. 1970. Tomentella and Related Genera in North America VI. Some Synonymy and Additional New Records. Mycologia. 62(2):256-271
SUMMARY: Six species of Tomentella are considered. Tomentella asperula, T. fuscoferruginosa, and T. molybdaea are cited as new records from North America; and a considerable extension in the range of T. griseoviolacea is noted. The following synonymy is proposed: Tomentella gibbosa = T. asperula, T. sparsa = T. microspora, T. luteomarginata = T. microspora, and T. cervina= T. papillata. Descriptions of the macroscopical and microscopical characteristics are provided for each species, supplemented with photomicrographs of basidiospores.
