Peter G. Mullin and Denis A. Shah assembled the original list of terms in this glossary, which Denis circulated among several colleagues for suggested additions. Denis then compiled the definitions from the sources cited and circulated it again for review. Steven V. Beer, Gary C. Bergstrom, Bill B. Brodie, William E. Fry, Rosemary Loria, Olen C. Yoder, and Thomas A. Zitter provided many helpful comments, including their own definitions of some of the terms.

Richard P. Korf deserves special recognition for his meticulous review of the mycological terms and his contribution of many of the definitions. It is Dick's voice that you hear when you click on the pronunciation icon .

Denis Shah edited and converted the voice recordings to separate digital files, which Ken Sandlan, who created the original HTML for the glossary, then incorporated into the hypertext structure. Phil Arneson reviewed and edited the final product, polishing the HTML in the process.
