Moss Host Index

Note: I have chosen to keep Bryum sensu lato in this table instead of changing to the more recent nomenclature to keep the Bryaceae together.

Information from Ellis & Ellis (1988) has been included in this table, though not all will be accurate. Several Pyronemataceae have been disregarded owing to recent studies (E.g., Octospora meslinii). Note this is a work in progress.
