How did Quélet classify fungi?
My classification of fungi was built upon observable, tangible characteristics. I meticulously examined features such as spore color, hymenial structures (like gills or pores), the texture and form of the cap and stem, and the overall growth habit. These consistent, identifiable traits were paramount for grouping species and creating systematic keys within my floras, making identification more accessible for fellow naturalists.
