Claviceps Request 2009 Claviceps Request 2009 (3758Kb, 2009-02-27)
This is an earnest request to everyone in southern Africa who comes across a grass or sedge with fungus-infected seed heads, to assist in a research study by collecting and sending specimens to Elna van der Linde, Mycology Unit, National Collection of Fungi, ARC-PPRI, Private Bag X134, Queenswood, Pretoria, 0121. Anyone encountering specimens of grasses or sedges infected with fungi that may belong to this genus, is requested to collect some seed heads, dry the samples in a plant press or even in a telephone directory, and post them in clearly marked paper envelopes (not plastic).
