Abstract

In this study, the different species of the genus Cantharellus that have been found in Guatemala for some decades are cited, as well as the results of microscopic analyzes obtained from seven particular species that bear fruit in Guatemala: Cantharellus lateritius, C. cibarius, C. atrol i1acinus, C. cinnabarinus. Craterellus ignicolor, C. tubaeformis and C. calvenles. In order to determine if there are differences in the measurements reported in Europe or North America, where most of the species of this important genus have been described, the samples analyzed were selected from the Micotcca 'Rubén Mayorga Peralta' of the School of Chemistry Biology of the University of San Carlos of Guatemala, to which basidia, sterigmata, cystidia and spores were measured and photographed.


It was observed that there are differences in the measurements of some structures with respect to those described in the literature, although many coincide in normal ranges. On the other hand, it is concluded that there are samples that correspond to names different from those that were determined at the time and others that have been determined thanks to the recent publication of studies in other countries.
