Summary: nomenclatural confusion...
Comment: Well… I have been curious about this group…
According to Abbott and Currah 1997 combined gigas, montanum and korfii because the slight spore differences apparently overlap quite a bit.
It would seem that molecular studies are in order… proff. O’dell is doing a current study to determine the true identity of these Western gyromitoids and this collection will be sent to him and maybe he will be able to sort them out in the end…
What exactly was the reason that it was determined they are different?
