A grant has been awarded to San Francisco State University (SFSU) under the direction of Dr. Dennis E. Desjardin for partial support of a renovation of the H.D. Thiers Herbarium. Founded in 1959, the herbarium is a national archive containing a world-class collection of fleshy fungi and lichens, and a significant regional collection of vascular plants. The H.D. Thiers Herbarium is the repository for over 138,000 specimens, including 279 type specimens and thousands of specimens from endangered habitats in California, Hawaii and Southeast Asia. SFSU holdings represent one of the world's most extensive and comprehensive collections of California specimens of fleshy fungi, lichens, bryophytes and vascular plants, and the most complete collection of fleshy fungi from the Hawaiian Archipelago, Indonesia and much of Southeast Asia. The renovation incorporates 142 new herbarium cabinets installed on a compactor system, and provides for the accessioning and reorganization of all specimens reflecting recent changes in taxonomy and nomenclature. New cabinets will preserve the specimens from potential insect damage, will allow us to accession a backlog of nearly 17,000 specimens, and will allow for future growth to hold the incoming specimens resulting from ongoing NSF-funded research. A compactor system will allow for an increase of 38 cabinets from our current number without requiring additional space, and will reduce the footprint of the herbarium by 20% providing more room for students and researchers to join the facility. The H.D. Thiers Herbarium is an integral component of the research and education goals of SFSU. In the past five years, 57 SFSU graduate students in plant and fungal systematics and molecular ecology have used the collections upon which their thesis research was based. Specimens and their accompanying data are vitally important to systematists, biogeographers, ecologists and other scientists interested in species distributions, biotic community composition, plant-fungal associations, and temporal and spatial aspects of plant and fungal biology. They provide pertinent historical data to land managers for conservation, forestry, remediation, public parks and other land use concerns. The renovation will assure that the specimens will remain in pristine condition and efficiently accessible for use by students, researchers and the general public.

在Dennis E. Desjardin博士的指导下，已授予旧金山州立大学（SFSU）的赠款，以部分支持H.D.的翻新。蒂尔斯植物标本室。植物标本室成立于1959年，是一家国家档案馆，其中包含世界一流的肉质真菌和地衣集，以及大量的区域血管植物集合。 H.D. Thiers Herbarium是138,000多个标本的存储库，其中包括加利福尼亚，夏威夷和东南亚的濒危栖息地的279种样本和数千个标本。 SFSU控股代表了加利福尼亚州最广泛，最全面的肉质真菌，地衣，苔藓植物和血管植物的藏品之一，以及来自夏威夷群岛，印度尼西亚和大部分东南亚的最完整的肉质真菌。 该装修融合了紧凑型系统上安装的142个新的植物柜，并提供了所有标本的登录和重组，这些标本反映了分类法和命名法的最新变化。新机柜将保护标本免受潜在的昆虫损害，使我们能够康复近17,000个标本的积压，并允许将来的增长保留由NSF资助的持续资助的研究导致的传入标本。 压缩机系统将使我们目前的数字增加38个橱柜，而无需额外的空间，并且将使植物标本室的足迹减少20％，为学生和研究人员提供更多的余地，以加入该设施。 H.D. Thiers Herbarium是SFSU研究和教育目标不可或缺的组成部分。 在过去的五年中，植物和真菌系统学和分子生态学领域的57名SFSU研究生使用了论文研究所基于的收集。 标本及其随附的数据对系统主义者，生物地理学家，生态学家以及对物种分布感兴趣的科学家，生物群落组成，植物 - 真菌关联以及植物和真菌生物学的时间和空间方面至关重要。 他们向土地管理者提供相关的历史数据，以保护，林业，修复，公园和其他土地使用问题。 翻新将确保样品将保持原始状态，并有效地供学生，研究人员和公众使用。
