Outline and Characteristics of This Database |
| |
This
Database has been made by the Fungus Team (for members
and institutions, click this "Fungus
Team")
under financial support of the GBIF Japan project for
2002.
The first version covers essential information for 8514
fungal specimens and 89 living strains which are being
maintained at the seven selected Japanese herbaria (for
details, click this "Selected Japanese
Herbaria").
The target phyla are Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota,
Basidiomycota, and anamorphic (mitotic) fungi, including
some specimens of so-called "Pseudofungi". Strain
data derived from some of these specimens, which are maintained
at Japan Collection of Microorganisms (JCM), are linked
to their original specimens in TNS.
The acronyms for the herbaria, except for the Herbarium
of Institute of Agriculture and Forestry, University of
Tsukuba (TSH), are provided in "Index Herbariorum (part
1: The herbaria of the world, 8th Edition" (http://www.nybg.org/bsci/ih/ih.html,
