Collection Profile for: University of North Carolina Asheville (UNCA-UNCA)
The UNCA Fungarium was started in 2022 by Dr. Jonathan Horton and his undergraduate research student, Ari Puentes. The collection focuses on fleshy fungi of the southern Appalachians, particularly western North Carolina. As the Fungarium grows it will include voucher specimens from Dr. Horton and his students' research, as well as contributed specimens from students in his Mycology course and members of the Asheville Mushroom Club. The goal is to have DNA bar codes for specimens, especially ectomycorrhizal species.
