Mal Greaves has recently produced a key based on the tombio visualisation framework for the genus Geoglossum. He has also produced an enhanced version of the key for the genus Scutellinia. These keys are the result of an immense amount of work and study, and potentially represent a major advance in the understanding of these genera.

Both the keys are accessible from this site, in the section fungi.

Keys

Scutellinia and Geoglossum

For some years, Mal Greaves has been making a special study of the genus Scutellinia (eyelash fungi): based on his research, and using the Tombio ID visualisation framework, he has created an interactive key to the genus; following on from this work, he has also produced a similar key to the genus Geoglossum (earth tongues.) Both these keys are now available on this site: For further information, or to discuss any issues whilst using the key, please contact Mal at recorder@lintoncottage.com.
