Couch's magnum opus is his big book on Septobasidium, which examines in great detail the ecosystem of the fungus and the scale insects which it protects and parasitizes. I hope to eventually get some of the wonderful pictures from this book on the website, but I don't think the copyright has expired yet and they're really huge.
The publications listed here that aren't on Septobasidium are on various of the Saprolegniales; apparently Coker's interest in them was contagious.
