A grant has been awarded to San Francisco State University (SFSU) under the direction of Dr. Dennis E. Desjardin for partial support of a renovation of the H.D. Thiers Herbarium. Founded in 1959, the herbarium is a national archive containing a world-class collection of fleshy fungi and lichens, and a significant regional collection of vascular plants. The H.D. Thiers Herbarium is the repository for over 138,000 specimens, including 279 type specimens and thousands of specimens from endangered habitats in California, Hawaii and Southeast Asia. SFSU holdings represent one of the world's most extensive and comprehensive collections of California specimens of fleshy fungi, lichens, bryophytes and vascular plants, and the most complete collection of fleshy fungi from the Hawaiian Archipelago, Indonesia and much of Southeast Asia. The renovation incorporates 142 new herbarium cabinets installed on a compactor system, and provides for the accessioning and reorganization of all specimens reflecting recent changes in taxonomy and nomenclature. New cabinets will preserve the specimens from potential insect damage, will allow us to accession a backlog of nearly 17,000 specimens, and will allow for future growth to hold the incoming specimens resulting from ongoing NSF-funded research. A compactor system will allow for an increase of 38 cabinets from our current number without requiring additional space, and will reduce the footprint of the herbarium by 20% providing more room for students and researchers to join the facility. The H.D. Thiers Herbarium is an integral component of the research and education goals of SFSU. In the past five years, 57 SFSU graduate students in plant and fungal systematics and molecular ecology have used the collections upon which their thesis research was based. Specimens and their accompanying data are vitally important to systematists, biogeographers, ecologists and other scientists interested in species distributions, biotic community composition, plant-fungal associations, and temporal and spatial aspects of plant and fungal biology. They provide pertinent historical data to land managers for conservation, forestry, remediation, public parks and other land use concerns. The renovation will assure that the specimens will remain in pristine condition and efficiently accessible for use by students, researchers and the general public.

一笔赠款已授予旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学（SFSU），由丹尼斯E。Desjardin为H.D.的翻新提供部分支持。梯也尔植物标本馆。该标本馆成立于1959年，是一个国家档案馆，包含世界级的肉质真菌和地衣收藏，以及重要的维管植物区域收藏。 H.D.梯也尔植物标本馆收藏了超过138，000件标本，其中包括279件模式标本和数千件来自加州、夏威夷和东南亚濒危栖息地的标本。SFSU的藏品代表了世界上最广泛和最全面的加州肉质真菌、地衣、苔藓和维管植物标本收藏之一，以及夏威夷群岛、印度尼西亚和东南亚大部分地区最完整的肉质真菌收藏。 翻修包括在一个压实系统上安装142个新的植物标本柜，并对反映分类和命名最近变化的所有标本进行登记和重组。新的橱柜将保护标本免受潜在的昆虫损害，将使我们能够加入近17,000个标本的积压，并将允许未来的增长，以保持来自正在进行的NSF资助的研究的传入标本。 一个压缩机系统将允许从我们目前的数量增加38个橱柜，而不需要额外的空间，并将减少20%的植物标本馆的足迹，为学生和研究人员提供更多的空间加入该设施。 H.D.梯也尔植物标本馆是SFSU研究和教育目标的组成部分。 在过去的五年中，57 SFSU研究生在植物和真菌系统学和分子生态学使用的集合后，他们的论文研究的基础。 标本及其相关数据对于系统分类学家、植物地理学家、生态学家和其他对物种分布、生物群落组成、植物-真菌关联以及植物和真菌生物学的时空方面感兴趣的科学家至关重要。 它们为土地管理者提供有关的历史数据，用于保护、林业、补救、公园和其他土地使用问题。 翻新将确保标本保持原始状态，并有效地供学生，研究人员和公众使用。
