 there are none of the fungi included >>


Sheila,

I think that is a reasonable quesstion, I don't know the answer.  A source of
cultural info that contains many esoteric facts is the archives of the Alpine
list.  This list requires no membership and has fascinating items posted from
all over the world.  The searchable archives address:

There has been much terrestrial orchid discussion recently.
