The Mycology Collections at TENN: Rehousing, Digitization and Management of Supporting Materials

在罗纳德·H·彼得森(Ronald H.Petersen)博士的指导下，田纳西诺克斯维尔大学(University Of Tennessee Knoxville)已获奖，以重新安置该大学的真菌收藏，并汇编一个在线材料数据库，以便在互联网上访问。田纳西大学有一个巨大的植物标本馆，大约有63,000种真菌，其中大部分属于蘑菇类。此外，还有有价值的培养和孢子培养，以及显著增加保存标本研究价值的DNA样本。该项目将把这些藏品重新安置在新的橱柜中，以确保它们得到保存，以供未来研究。该藏品包括阿巴拉契亚地区的大量藏品，包括大烟山国家公园，因此真菌标本记录了这一生物多样性的重要组成部分。学生将接受真菌管理和数据库建设方面的培训。

An award has been made to the University of Tennessee Knoxville under the direction of Dr. Ronald H. Petersen to re-house the fungus collection at the university and assemble an online database of the material for access on the Internet. The University of Tennessee has a large herbarium of approximately 63,000 fungi, most of them in the mushroom group. Additionally, there are valuable cultures of cultures and spores, along with DNA samples that add significantly to the research value of the preserved specimens. The project will re-house the collection in new cabinets, ensuring their preservation for future study. The collection contains extensive holdings from the Appalachian region, including the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and thus the fungal specimens provide a record of this important component of biodiversity. Students will be trained in curation of fungi, and in database construction.
