Characterization of three species of the genus Coprotus (Ascomycota) by isozyme analysis

Identification of Coprotus species has never been an easy task. Their morphological and cultural characteristics are very similar and this often makes species delimitation very difficult. In this study we first identified 44 monosporic strains of three species of the genus (C. lacteus, C. niveus, C....
