Dum. globose 29.4 32.2-27.6 1 spinulate Perennial stayers: P Examined species/All the Hungarian species: 6/14 (42.8%) It is a quite homogeneous group. The size range is rather narrow, it is between 13-20 u.m. All of the spores are of globose type with thin walls (1-2 Jim) and small ornamentation which is not considerable (Table 4). Short life shuttle: SL Examined species/All the Hungarian species: 7/36 (19.4%) It is a heterogeneous group. The spores of these species are in the size range of 40-130 Jim with varied forms: subtriangulare, globose and elliptic. However,
