I have never had the pleasure of a formal education in mycology, 

but I have often wondered how these names are pronounced. Here

is a link to Tom Volk rattling off quite a few common genus and 

species. I hope some of you enjoy this as much as I have!

Thanks KMC!!

 

I share the same limitations. Long on enthusiasm - short on education. This stuff is gold!

Thanks for pinning it I seen it right away a new pinned anyway
I needed this thanks if I write the latin name out enough I can remember the spelling but to pronounce it no way not without hearing it first.

Maybe Uderzo & Goscinny of ASTERIX could find names of future characters for their comics from this list !!?

 

Loved it.

Thank you for posting and pinning this folks... Definitely set me straight on a few species I have been mispronouncing.

I was pronouncing Trichoderma correctly all along. Who'd a thunk?
