Heterobasidiomycetes have for a long time been a rather neglected group of fungi in Scandinavia. The reason is partly because their basidiocarps are often small and, in many cases, almost invisible on the substrate. Further, there has not been an updated key to the more inconspicuous genera and species. The previous surveys (see reference list) are partly old, difficult accessible or have been hidden inside large comprehensive and expensive books. The present preliminary synopsis is an attempt to make the group more accessible for the keen amateur.

 

It is important to underline that this is not a taxonomic treatise, only a compilation of descriptions based on my own observations and written sources of different kinds. 
It goes without saying that there must be omissions and mistakes in the descriptions and keys. I would be grateful to receive comments, corrections and added observations or information of any kind to make this manual better. This include also hosts and distributional data. As this is a preliminary draft, there are no colour pictures or drawings.
