Abstract
Six species of Sclerocystis (S. clavispora, S. coremioides, S. liquidambaris, S. rubiformis, S. sinuosa, and S. taiwanensis) from Taiwan are described and illustrated, and a key to species is provided. Spores of these species were assigned to one of three size-classes based on an area index calculated by multiplying length x width: 1000-3000 mu m(2), 6000-8000 mu m(2), and intermediate sized spores. Sclerocystis clavispora and S. liquidambaris formed large and small spores, sometimes in the same sporocarp. Sclerocystis rubiformis and S. taiwanensis mostly produced smaller spores; however, the spore size of S. sinuosa and S. coremioides were mainly intermediate between smaller and larger spore groups.
