Each species page at this site includes a references paragraph in small font below the mushroom's description. Here is an example from the page for Artomyces pyxidatus:

    REFERENCES: (Persoon, 1794) Jülich, 1982. (Fries, 1821; Saccardo, 1888; Coker, 1923; Corner, 1950; Dodd, 1972; Smith, Smith & Weber, 1981; Arora, 1986; States, 1990; Phillips, 1991/2005; Lincoff, 1992; Metzler & Metzler, 1992; Horn, Kay & Abel, 1993; Evenson, 1997; Barron, 1999; Lickey, Hughes & Petersen, 2002; Roody, 2003; McNeil, 2006; Miller & Miller, 2006; Trudell & Ammirati, 2009; Kuo & Methven, 2010; Kuo & Methven, 2014; Evenson, 2015; Cripps, Evenson & Kuo, 2016.) Herb. Kuo 05210404, 05060604, 07030701.

Species authors ("authorities") are given first. The author of a species is the mycologist who gave the species its currently used name--in this case Jülich, who named Artomyces pyxidatus in 1982. If Jülich had been the first to name the mushroom, there would be no parenthetical entry before "Jülich, 1982." However, Jülich was not the first scientist to name the mushroom; he is the person who decided it belonged in the genus Artomyces. It was Persoon who first named it, in 1794; his original name (called the "basionym" by mycologists) was Clavaria pyxidata. Thus the official name of the mushroom, for mycologists, is "Artomyces pyxidatus (Pers.) Jülich," giving credit to the scientist who originated the name (Pers. for Persoon) and the scientist who gave the mushroom its current genus. At MushroomExpert.Com I include full names in species author citations, rather than abbreviations, and I include the dates of publications.

Works cited or studied, and popular sources containing descriptions of the mushroom. The long parenthetical entry following the species author represents a list of sources I have used while writing the page, as well as readily available field guides that describe and illustrate the mushroom. If a source is not listed below (scroll down to "Field Guides," etc.), its full citation can be found in one of two places: 1) on the genus page for the mushroom or 2) in the Complete References List for the site.

Collections of the mushroom in the Herbarium of Michael Kuo are cited last in the references paragraph. These are collections I have made, studied, and preserved—or they are collections made by others and sent to me for study. My collection numbers, if anyone cares, represent the date of the collection with the first six digits; the last two digits refer to the collection number on that date. Thus Artomyces pyxidatus was the fourth mushroom I collected on May 21, 2004: 05210404. Collections I have studied from other herbaria are also cited here.
