The University of Vermont's Pringle Herbarium (VT) will join the Macrofungi Collection Consortium (MaCC), a Thematic Collections Network (TCN) dedicated to increased understanding of mushrooms and their allies (macrofungi). The Consortium includes 35 institutions' botanical gardens, natural history museums and universities from 24 states. For this project, all 3,000 macrofungi specimens at the Pringle Herbarium will be digitized, and the resulting data and images will be released for worldwide computer access through the MaCC's online MycoPortal and the iDigBio shared portal. The macrofungi collections at the Pringle Herbarium will provide a unique focus on the macrofungi of northern New England and significant representation from the early, poorly documented period from 1840-1910. Adding these collections to enhance the Macrofungi Consortium will increase the research possible on the impact of macrofungi on their host plants over time and space and how these changes impact human health and economic enterprise. University of Vermont undergraduates will perform the digitization and imaging and in the process increase their understanding of research on biological diversity. The Pringle Herbarium will engage the local community of macrofungi enthusiasts with mushroom identification workshops to stimulate amateur interest in the impact of fungi on human affairs. 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).

佛蒙特大学普林格尔植物标本馆 (VT) 将加入大型真菌收藏联盟 (MaCC)，这是一个专题收藏网络 (TCN)，致力于增进对蘑菇及其盟友（大型真菌）的了解。 该联盟包括来自 24 个州的 35 个机构的植物园、自然历史博物馆和大学。 对于该项目，Pringle 植物标本馆的所有 3,000 个大型真菌标本都将被数字化，生成的数据和图像将通过 MacC 的在线 MycoPortal 和 iDigBio 共享门户发布，供全球计算机访问。普林格尔植物标本馆的大型真菌收藏将为新英格兰北部的大型真菌提供独特的关注，并展示 1840 年至 1910 年早期、文献记载很少的时期的重要代表性。 添加这些收藏以增强大型真菌联盟将增加对大型真菌随时间和空间对其寄主植物的影响以及这些变化如何影响人类健康和经济企业的研究。佛蒙特大学的本科生将进行数字化和成像，并在此过程中增加他们对生物多样性研究的理解。 普林格尔植物标本馆将通过蘑菇鉴定研讨会吸引当地大型真菌爱好者社区，以激发业余爱好者对真菌对人类事务影响的兴趣。该奖项是通过推进生物收藏数字化计划作为国家生物收藏数字化资源的一部分而颁发的，该奖项产生的所有数据都将通过国家资源 (iDigBio.org) 提供。
