Conservation and Restoration of The Pennsylvania State University Mycological Herbarium

该奖项将允许PI识别，保存和管理宾夕法尼亚州立大学真菌学标本室的模式标本（604+）（67500个标本，包括565个类型）。保存过程包括将标本放入不透气的塑料袋中，并保存在无酸包装和属文件夹中。管理将包括在计算机化数据库中获取与类型材料相关的所有相关数据，以便可以通过网络与参与真菌学研究的其他机构的科学家共享。该项目将有助于真菌的科学研究和研究生教育。

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.
