Each species page at this site includes a references paragraph in small font below the mushroom's description. Here is an example from the page for Cordyceps militaris:

REFERENCES: (Linnaeus, 1753) Link, 1833. (Mains, 1958; Smith, Smith & Weber, 1981; Breitenbach & Kränzlin, 1984; Arora, 1986; Phillips, 1991/2005; Lincoff, 1992; Metzler & Metzler, 1992; Barron, 1999; Roody, 2003; McNeil, 2006.) Herb. Kuo 08180607.

Species authors are given first. The author of a species is the mycologist who gave the species its currently used name--in this case Link, who named Cordyceps militaris in 1833. If Link had been the first to name the mushroom, there would be no parenthetical entry before "Link, 1833." However, Link was not the first scientist to name the mushroom; he is the person who decided it belonged in the genus Cordyceps. It was Linnaeus who first named it, in 1753; his original name (called the "basionym" by mycologists) was Clavaria militaris. Thus the official name of the mushroom, for mycologists, is "Cordyceps militaris (L) Link," giving credit to the scientist who originated the name (L for Linnaeus) and the scientist who gave the mushroom its current genus. At MushroomExpert.Com I include full names in species author citations, rather than abbreviations, and I include the dates of publications. The Index Fungorum is frequently my source for species author information.

Works cited or studied, and popular sources containing descriptions of the mushroom. The long parenthetical entry following the species author represents a list of sources I or one of the site's contributors have used while writing the page, as well as readily available field guides that describe and illustrate the mushroom. If a source is not listed below (scroll down to "Field Guides," etc.), its full citation can be found in one of two places: 1) on the genus page for the mushroom (not applicable in the case of Cordyceps militaris, since I have yet to develop a page for the genus Cordyceps) or 2) in the Complete References List for the site.

Collections of the mushroom in the MushroomExpert.Com Herbarium are cited last in the references paragraph. These are collections I have made, studied, and preserved. If I have never collected or seen the mushroom I indicate this fact here with the words "I have not collected this mushroom" (this is the case for only a few pages at the site). If I have seen and studied the mushroom (for example, on specimen tables at a mushroom club's foray) but do not have a dried specimen, this citation is blank. My collection numbers, if anyone cares, represent the date of the collection with the first six digits; the last two digits refer to the collection number on that date. Thus Cordyceps militaris was the seventh mushroom I collected on August 18, 2006: 08180607.
