University of Michigan Herbarium (MICH)The fungal herbarium is extraordinarily strong in North American higher fungi, with, among others, the collections of A. H. Smith (agarics, boletes, and gastromycetes), C. H. Kauffman (agarics), D. Baxter (polypores), R. L. Shaffer (agarics), and R. Fogel (hypogeous fungi). Material on which the taxonomic studies of E. B. Mains, on the Uredinales, insecticolous fungi, and Geoglossaceae, and of B. Kanouse, on discomycetes are largely based is in the collection, as are many of L. E. Wehmeyer's pyrenomycetous fungi. The personal herbarium of F. K. Sparrow, which contains mostly specimens of the parasitic genera Physoderma and Urophlyctis as well as a microscope-slide collection of aquatic fungi, is also included. The fungal herbarium is rich in the classical mycological exsiccati sets and contains several historically important, originally private collections such as those of H. A. Kelly and H. C. Beardslee Jr. Contacts: LOANS: see the MICH home page for request guidelines and email the curator; Tim James, tyjames@umich.edu, umherb-data@umich.edu Collection Type: Preserved Specimens Management: Live Data managed directly within data portal Global Unique Identifier: 0cd2551b-8166-4c05-a0c9-5c8712ce0eb8 DwC-Archive Access Point: https://www.mycoportal.org/portal/content/dwca/MICH_DwC-A.zip Digital Metadata: EML File Usage Rights: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ Collection Statistics
