The Macrofungi Collection Consortium: Unlocking a Biodiversity Resource for Understanding Biotic Interactions, Nutrient Cycling and Human AffairsMushrooms and related fungi (macrofungi) play a critical role in the lives of plants and animals, including humans, yet their diversity is underestimated. Understanding this diversity will be critical in analyzing impacts of habitat change, nutrient cycling in ecosystems, and distributions and diversity of host organisms. Scientists in the U.S. have been studying these fungi for the past 150 years, resulting in a legacy of approximately 1.4 million dried scientific specimens conserved in 35 institutions in 24 states. These institutions have now joined in an effort to digitize and share online all data associated with macrofungi specimens. The resulting resource will enable a national census of macrofungi, never before attempted, and will allow researchers to better understand the diversity of these organisms and the relationship between macrofungi and the organisms with which they form intimate relationships.Organized into clubs across the country, citizen mycologists play an important role in documenting macrofungi diversity, and these enthusiastic individuals are the conduit between professional scientists and the general public for critical information about wild edible and poisonous fungi. Citizen mycologists will join the collections institutions in this project to help to create the on-line resource. The project will fund two workshops for high school teachers to promote classroom study of fungi. University students employed by the project will gain work experience in digitization and formal training about fungi. Students will share the knowledge they gain through oral and video presentations. This award is made as part of the National Resource for Digitization of Biological Collections through the Advancing Digitization of Biological Collections program and all data resulting from this award will be available through the national resource (iDigBio.org).

大型宗教收集财团：解锁生物多样性资源，以了解生物相互作用，营养自行车和人类事务库及相关真菌（Macrofungi）（Macrofungi）在包括人类在内的动植物的生活中起着至关重要的作用，但其多样性被低估了。了解这种多样性对于分析栖息地变化的影响，生态系统中的营养循环以及寄主生物的分布和多样性至关重要。 在过去的150年中，美国的科学家一直在研究这些真菌，导致在24个州的35个机构中保留了约140万条干科学标本的遗产。 这些机构现在已经加入了努力，以数字化和在线共享与大型标本相关的所有数据。 由此产生的资源将使国民普查能够进行大符号，从未尝试过，并将使研究人员能够更好地了解这些生物的多样性以及大芬基与与之形成亲密关系的有机体之间的关系。在全国范围内构成俱乐部的俱乐部。和有毒真菌。 公民真菌学家将加入该项目的收藏机构，以帮助创建在线资源。 该项目将为高中教师提供两个研讨会，以促进对真菌的课堂研究。 该项目雇用的大学生将获得有关真菌的数字化和正规培训的工作经验。 学生将通过口头和视频演示分享他们获得的知识。该奖项是通过推进生物收集计划的数字化数字化生物收集资源的一部分，该奖项产生的所有数据将通过国家资源（idigbio.org）获得。
