Table 3 Tulasnella species isolated from Australian orchids by JH Warcup and PHB Talbot and other studies. Sporophore morphology was from sporophores (i.e. the “perfect state”) initiated from cultures. Tulasnella species in bold were newly described by Warcup and Talbot. Orchid genera in Drakaeinae are given in bold. References do not include publications where original isolates of Warcup were later sequenced (as cited in Table 2). Unpublished observations derive from sequences in GenBank as detailed in Table 2.
