Abstract
If your title is sufficiently engaging, a prospective reader will probably look next at the Abstract. The abstract should include all details necessary for the reader who does not have access to the whole article (i.e. someone looking at the abstract only on-line or in an abstract journal) so that they will know whether it is worth their time or money to obtain the full article. When describing a new species, you should include a summary of the diagnostic characters of the new species, especially the spore characters and dimensions. Make sure to include information about where your fungus was found and what is was growing on. If you have molecular data, it is useful to mention what genes you have sequenced, and what this information tells us about the fungus, such as what family or order it belongs to, and what are the most closely related species. Mention if a key to related species or comparative synoptic table is included, a feature that will increase potential readership.
