Make sure you visit our Introduction page for a general view of what is happening with the classification of this fascinating group of organisms. A lot has changed in the last few years since my retirement, and anyone interested in the plasmodiophorids needs to keep abreast of the recent molecular studies and molecular phylogenies. I apologize if I have missed some of the more recent studies and have not included them on this website. If you come across a publication that should be included here, please feel free to send the information to me by email.
Note that I have added "Personal Comments" to several of the pages to give visitors to the site an idea of how specimens were collected from different interesting locations and the people who helped obtain many of the specimens. I also am updating some of the images. When we first went online on 12 December 1995, methods for scanning images and putting them on websites were crude compared to standards used today. Eventually many of the inferior images will be replaced with images that have been edited with GIMP.
