90% tolerance limits defined for the 90% probability level for the mean basidiospore length, width and length to width ratio for Subulicystidium species with at least 3 sequenced specimens. The following specimens were used to estimate tolerance limits for species: Subulicystidium fusisporum: GB:KHL 9093, 10360 and 12761; S. harpagum: GB:KHL 10733, O:F:LR 15736, KAS:L 0244 and 1726a; S. parvisporum: KAS:GEL 5032, KAS:L 0140 and 1226 and LY 12750; S. robustius: GB:KHL 10039, 10272, 10780 and 10813.
