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

田纳西大学诺克斯维尔在罗纳德H博士的指导下获得了一个奖项。彼得森在大学重新安置真菌收集，并组装一个在线数据库的材料在互联网上访问。 田纳西大学有一个大型的植物标本馆，大约有63，000种真菌，其中大部分属于蘑菇类。 此外，还有有价值的培养物和孢子，沿着DNA样本，大大增加了保存标本的研究价值。 该项目将把这些收藏品重新安置在新的橱柜中，以确保它们得到保存，供未来研究之用。 该系列包含来自阿巴拉契亚地区的大量藏品，包括大烟山国家公园，因此真菌标本提供了生物多样性这一重要组成部分的记录。 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.
