Development of a Myxomycete Photoguide as a Teaching Tool for Microbial Taxonomy

Recently, web-based identification guides have been developed to aid modern taxonomists in identifying organisms. Unfortunately, these guides can only be used wherever Internet access is available. Thus, these cannot often be brought directly to the field for quick and easy identification of any col...
