The mycological collections at the Field Museum are an important national and international systematic resource, totalling 186,780 specimens. In the past ten years these collections have grown by nearly 55,000 specimens. Almost 40% of the new specimens were added through the activities of Field Museum staff and associates, with the rest added through the acquisition of scientifically important donated and orphan collections. Due to this rapid increase in size, the mycological collections are currently severely overcrowded and poorly accessible to the scientific community. Growth is expected to accelerate because of active field programs and an increase in the size of the mycology group (currently there are six researchers and curators plus six graduate and undergraduate students). In addition to research on the ecology, biodiversity, and distribution of fungi, Field Museum's mycological collections are actively used in teaching and internship programs for high school and undergraduate students. Completion of the planned collection improvement projects will prevent damage to collections threatened by existing overcrowded conditions, allow for anticipated growth, provide improved access and facilities for study by the scientific community including students, and contribute to more efficient collection management. The Field Museum's total cost share for this proposal is over 88% of the total request. -- aݪ ▀ ; ᪪á = ÓaOÀ h¢µ +'ª`0 )   ª 0 T x Þ ¹ ¾ ¼ ª + ª p f áááááááááááááááá S u m m a r y I n f o r m a t i o n ( áááááááááááá % % áááááááááááá áááááááááááá áááááááááááá p¸?

菲尔德博物馆的真菌收藏是重要的国家和国际系统资源，共有186，780个标本。在过去的十年里，这些收藏品增加了近55，000个标本。近40%的新标本是通过菲尔德博物馆工作人员和同事的活动增加的，其余的是通过收购具有科学意义的捐赠和孤儿收藏品增加的。由于这种规模的快速增长，真菌收藏目前严重拥挤，科学界很难获得。由于积极的实地项目和真菌学小组规模的增加（目前有六名研究人员和策展人加上六名研究生和本科生），增长预计将加速。除了对生态学、生物多样性和真菌分布的研究外，菲尔德博物馆的真菌收藏还积极用于高中和本科生的教学和实习项目。完成计划中的藏品改进项目将防止藏品受到现有过度拥挤条件的威胁而受到损害，使藏品能够实现预期的增长，为包括学生在内的科学界的研究提供更好的机会和设施，并有助于提高藏品管理的效率。菲尔德博物馆在这一提案中的总费用份额超过了总要求的88%。 --aaaaa ; = 0.00000000000000 )   ª 0 不 X Þ ¹ ¾ ¼ ª + ª p F 我是你的朋友 ( áááááááááááá % % áááááááááááá áááááááááááá áááááááááááá p？N a Meredith's MacHD：应用程序：Microsoft Word：模板：普通 J 菲尔德博物馆的真菌收藏是一个重要的国家 国家科学基金会 国家科学基金会 '@ =++'l+ @ ？v +=？t @ =++'l+ @ Microsoft Word 6.0.1 2 ᪠_ e ¾ : ¾ L L L L L L L ¹ ¹ ¹ ¹ ¹ ¹ ß ¹ = ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ O 8 8 8 8 8 8 & O X ║ ¶ L ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ L L ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ L ¼ L ¼ O Ã Û L L L L ¼ O ¼ @ ¼
