Fungi associated with Glossopteris (Glossopteridales) leaves from the Permian of Antarctica: A preliminary report
PUBLISHED Fungi today occur on virtually every plant part, living and dead, and represent a significant proportion of fungal diversity. Arborescent seed ferns characterized by large, tongue-shaped leaves with reticulate venation (Glossopteris) represent the dominant floral element in the Permian of...
