该奖项将允许PI识别，保护和 在真菌标本馆（Mycological Herbarium）收集模式标本（604+）， 宾夕法尼亚州立大学（67,500个标本，包括565个 类型）。 保护程序包括将 标本装在密封塑料袋中，并储存在无酸环境中 包和genus-folders。 策展将涉及捕捉所有 有关资料附随的类型材料上， 计算机化的数据库，以便可以通过网络共享 与其他研究机构的科学家一起， 真菌学研究 该项目将有助于科学 研究和教育（研究生）对真菌。

This award will allow the PI to identify, conserve and curate the type specimens (604+) in the Mycological Herbarium of Pennsylvania State University (67,500 specimens, including 565 types). The conservation procedure involves placing the specimens in air-tight plastic bags and storing in acid-free packets and genus-folders. Curation will involve capturing all of the relevant data attendant to the type material on a computerized database, so that it can be shared over networks with scientists at other institutions who are involved in mycological research. This project will contribute to scientific research and education (graduate students) on fungi.
