Hiroki Sato
Information about authentic specimens of Cordyceps spp. that were described by Dr Kobayasi were summarised. Dr Kobayasi, National Museum of Nature and Science, has described/proposed about 28% of the scientific names for the major two genera of entomopathogenic fungi (Cordyceps s. l. and Torrubiella s. l.) with Mr Shimizu before 2007. In total 44 authentic specimens were discovered at present: 19 in Torrubiella, 6 in Cordyceps spp. on Elaphomyces, 19 in Cordyceps spp. on cicada. Although the colour iconography books published by Dr Kobayasi and Mr Shimizu did not explain the information about the illustrated specimens, 22 among the discovered specimens have been illustrated in colour showing their fresh condition in the books.
