This site is primarily aimed at those interested in fungi of importance as tree pathogens. This is a very nicely done page that is extremely informative. There is a very nice introduction to mycology for those interested in learning more about clamp connections, Uredinales, Ustilaginales and much more. Added: 2/18/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
Verbatim: "This database consists of a list of Brazilian fungi recorded by the Brazilian mycologist A.C. Batista and his co-workers from the Institute of Mycology of the Recife University. The data source was the publication "Publicacoes do Instituto de Micologia da Universidade de Recife", which comprises 697 individual issues, from the early 50's to 70's. Altogether there are 7,826 records of Brazilian fungi, representing 2,770 binomials and trinomials in over 1,050 different genera in over 160 families." Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
This site comes from the campuses of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston Island in Texas. They specialize in mycotic infections: some of these can be pretty gross. To give you an idea of what to expect here, their opening paragraph reads verbatim:
"The Medical Mycology Research Center and its Reference Laboratory provide a unique resource for the study of mycotic infections. The center conducts applied and basic research in various areas of medical mycology, as well as assistance in isolate identification, culture of specimens for fungi and aerobic actynomycetes, and testing of isolates against principal antifungal agents using contemporary methods. Graduate students and visitors of the center have the opportunity to study various aspects of molecular and clinical mycology. The purpose of this page is to provide information about the activities of the center, fungi involved in the areas of medical, veterinary and environmental mycology with their descriptions, images, biologic data and their susceptibility to various antifungals. We hope that the information contained within this site is useful to you." Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
Well, even though I haven't spent any time here I going to take a wild guess that this site gives information about where various fungus and lichen culture collections are kept. I'll update this description when I have the time to check it out. Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
Must have something to do with lichens from the Guianas. This is a gopher site. I'll update this description when I have the time to check it out. Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
Most have something to do with fungus from the United States. This is a gopher site. I'll update this description when I have the time to check it out. Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
This is the parent gopher site to the two above sites, and additional sites. I'll update this description when I have the time to check it out. Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
If you're looking for a resource of dried up lichens that exist in Sweden, this is probably where you'd start. I'll update this description when I have the time to check it out. Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
Here's a site from the University of Kansas Medical Center. Sounds like the kind of place that would create mushroom clones from mushroom DNA found in mosquitoes embedded in amber. Sounds like a good plot for a movie to me. I'll start on the screenplay right away. Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
I've come to appreciate slime molds more now that I live on the East coast which has a little higher humidity than the West coast. I think the Nickelodeon TV channel is coming out with a new play toy named "Nickelodeon Cellular Slime Mold" to go along with their "Nickelodeon Gack". Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
The Arthur Herbarium at Purdue University contains a collection of over 100,000 specimens of plant rust fungi. While the rust fungi may not be quite as glamourous as the Slime Molds, they probably are more important because of their agricultural significance. Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
This site contains contains various biological images including a section on mushrooms (30 pictures total as of 5/18/96). There is both an index and also access to the full picture. Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
This is a gopher site and I notice from the URL that this site is in Japan. I'll update the description soon. Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
Another new German mycological resource. Even though the title is in German, it is pretty easy to tell that this site might have something to do with Botany and Mycology! This is definitely geared for the professional mycologist and will be lovingly placed in my list of "mycologically geeky" sites. Added: 2/11/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
This is a research page from the University of California Berkeley looking at the evolution of Basidiomycetes. Because of the nature of the research, this site is listed in the Mycologically Geeky sites. However, there is a lot of information here that the everyday amateur mycologist will find of interest here, including some great pictures. The web pages are very nicely laid out.
