Summary:

"Ohio Biological Survey, Bull. 10, Vol. 11, No. 6" by Fink and Hilker is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This bulletin is part of a series focusing on the Ascomycetes fungi of Ohio, specifically detailing the Lecideaceae and Peltigeraceae families. The likely topic of the book revolves around the classification and description of various lichen species found in Ohio, with an emphasis on their morphology and taxonomy. The text provides an organized account of the species within the Lecideaceae and Peltigeraceae, offering systematic keys for identification, detailed descriptions of thalli and apothecia, and observation notes on spore characteristics and reproductive structures. It reflects extensive fieldwork conducted in several counties within Ohio, documenting 37 michens from the Lecideaceae family, many of which had not been previously reported in the state. The publication serves as a significant contribution to the understanding of local mycological diversity, aiming to enhance the understanding of lichen taxonomy and ecology in the region.
