This part of the website is under construction. Currently we have some basic information on working with pure cultures and the media that are commonly used to culture chytrids in the two links below. Below is a link to Joyce Longcore’s Chytrid Bibliography since Sparrow 1960 that catalogs new species of zoosporic true fungi validly published since 1960.
