Dear Dr. O'Donnell,
You might find these two references to be helpful;
1) Lee, S.B. and Taylor, J.W. 1990. Isolation of DNA from fungal
mycelia and single spores. PCR protocols: A Guide to Methods and
Applicaitons 282-287.
2) Kuske c.R. et al.,1998. Small-scale DNA sample preparation Method for
field PCR detection of microbial cells and spores in soil. Appl Environ
Microbiol vol 64 (7): 2463-2472.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
