Paleonet: Fungus Fossils

Mon May 14 16:50:51 UTC 2007

I know this one:
Magallón-Puebla, S., and S.R.S. Cevallos-Ferriz. 1993. A fossil
earthstar (Geasteraceae; Gasteromycetes) from the Late Cenozoic of
Puebla, Mexico. American Journal of Botany 80:1162-1167.

I have seen specimens identified as Geastrum from the Florissant
Formation of Colorado but I don't know the reference.

There is also this:
Hibbett, D. S., Grimaldi, D. & M. J. Donoghue. 1997. Fossil Mushrooms
from Miocene and Cretaceous Ambers and the Evolution of
Homobasidiomycetes. 84(7): 981-991
