A Provisional Host-index of the Fungi of the United States

＂A Provisional Host-index of the Fungi of the United States,＂ compiled by W. G. Farlow and Arthur Bliss Seymour, offers an invaluable glimpse into the late 19th-century understanding of fungal species and their distribution across America. Published in 1888, this index serves as a historical record of the known fungi and their respective hosts, providing a detailed account of the symbiotic relationships observed during that era.

This meticulous compilation is an essential resource for mycologists, botanists, and historians of science, offering insights into the development of fungal taxonomy and the evolving field of plant pathology. Researchers can explore the original classifications and host associations, gaining a deeper appreciation for the historical context of mycological studies in the United States. It is a foundational work that continues to inform contemporary research by illustrating the past state of knowledge in this critical scientific domain.
