importance and the teleomorph life cycle. Clear description
and well illustrated.

or by family. Also allows browsing or searching of references.
This database is based on Fungi of Australia Volumes 2A
and 2B, published by the Australian Biological Resources
Study.
Basidiomycetes
Clearing house for research information on the basidiomycete
fungi. Includes a list of laboratories focused on the basidiomycota,
lists of basidiomycete species, conferences and other events
and an index of available genomic information.
Basidiomycetes
of the Greater Antilles
Contains a catalogue of tropical fungi found in Puerto Rico,
the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and other islands of the
Greater and Lesser Antilles. Site includes an illustrated
species list, keys to selected taxa, maps, habitat photographs
and a list of species by country.
British
Mycological Society
BMS provides information for those who are interested to
know more about fungi and to professional mycologists. Includes
details of the Society's resources and publications.
Dimorphic
Basidiomycetes
This site from Portugal provides information about the systematics,
ecology, and evolution of basidiomycetous fungi having a
yeast stage.
Includes databases, a collection of papers and an online
forum.
Freshwater Ascomycetes
Site devoted to fungi in class Euascomycetes that occur
in freshwater habitats. It includes general background information
about the group, a referenced database listing the ascomycetes
reported from freshwater (World Records Database), a series
of illustrated profiles of freshwater ascomycete species
(Species Monograph), a database of asexual states (anamorphs)
reported for freshwater ascomycetes (teleomorphs), a literature
database with references cited and a database of mitosporic
ascomycetes (exclusive of Ingoldian and aeroaquatic fungi)
reported from the substrates on which freshwater ascomycetes
occur.

research community and general educational and research
organisations. Includes data on neurospora, aspergillus,

Full monographs or revisions for 14 genera, list of accepted
genera and list of names. Good thumbnails of images which
can be enlarged.
Introduction
to the Fungi
Yet another of the excellent plant science sites from Berkeley.
Covers a brief introduction and then fossil records, life
history and ecology,
systematics and morphology.
Introduction
to the Oomycota
UC Berkeley site providing a brief overview of the water
molds and downy mildews with links and images.
Macrofungi
of Costa Rica
A survey project documenting the diversity, distribution
and ecology of agarics and boletes (mushrooms) and other
macrofungi associated with neotropical oak forests. Includes
alphabetical lists by taxa and family, a macrofungi database,
pictures and a map.
MyxoWeb
A virtual field guide, this highly informative and well
thought out site covers the structural characteristics of
Myxomycetes, publications, history of myxomycetology, images,
research,
taxonomy and links. Some taxonomists now
separate these slime moulds from fungi.
New
Zealand Fungi
Whether your interest is pathology, systematics, ecology,
conservation, or simply browsing, these web pages provide
a gateway to a wealth of information on fungi in New Zealand.
The pages represent the first publicly accessible output
from a five year project to consolidate a number of significant
databases maintained by Landcare Research.
Plasmodiophorids
This award winning site from Ohio University provides a
good general introduction, general
references, genera, special topics, life cycle and images.
Sadly the author has retired and it seems the site will
no longer be updated.
Philippine
Myxomycetes
Recently established in 2003, this site has
potential to provide useful taxonomic information on slime
moulds in S.E. Asia. Currently includes photographs and
some descriptions. Could be
improved by the addition of contact details.
The
Fifth Kingdom
The oracle for all fungal mycologists, this site
includes 30 chapters or summaries from chapters from the
total of 36 contained in this major textbook. Over 800 illustrations
or animations are also included
WWW
Virtual Library: Mycology
This site summarizes internet resources of interest to mycologists
and provides a distributed and comprehensive catalogue of
internet resources. Included are directories of mycologists
and laboratories, general resources, field guides and inventories,
fungi/culture collections, molecular genetics, taxonomy
and mushrooms. Also included are teaching aids. Comprehensive
resource and a search facility also provided.
Zoosporic
Fungi Online
This site from the US provides a web-based resource of information
on zoosporic fungi, an informal group which includes chytrids,
oomycetes, labyrinthulids and various other protists. There
are links to a glossary defining terms commonly used with
zoosporic fungi, a photogallery with pictures of the organisms
and a guide on how to isolate and maintain these organisms
in culture. There are also links to recent publications
on zoosporic fungi, as well as links to other sites. |
