New initiative
Beginning with the 1997 Colorado NAMA foray, species are now being documented by voucher specimens. The collection data, photographs, and dried specimens are housed at The Field Museum, Department of Botany Herbarium (F). For each foray a voucher database program is used to provide rapid and consistent data entry.
These vouchered records are providing data on the distribution of macrofungi in North America and serve as a resource for further studies enabling more rigorous analysis of macrofungal biodiversity.
