Spelling
There is some confusion as to the proper spelling of this taxon. The Index Fungorum spells it Chrysothricaceae, while the Outline of Ascomycota - 2007 spells it Chrysotrichaceae. Both spellings are commonly encountered in the literature. However, the family was originally described by Alexander Zahlbruckner in 1907,[2] and he spelled it Chrysothricaceae, so that is the proper spelling.
gollark: (4 components, 80 bits each so they can hold 64 bits of significand, to represent pointers)
gollark: (80 * 4, of course)
gollark: All Macron "floats" are actually 320-bit quaternions.
gollark: Did you know? Go numeric constants have arbitrary precision.
gollark: Yes, I retroactively created this as I thought it was funny.
