Fungi Resources

The Mushroom Expert by Michael Kuo: This site is unrivaled in its comprehensive coverage of fungi, providing detailed descriptions of over 700 species as well as user-friendly taxonomic keys.
Fungi Growing on Wood by Gary Emberger: This site offers neatly organized and very informative descriptions and photos of many fungi, including many species we have found little information on elsewhere.
Tom Volk's Fungi: Based in Wisconsin, Volk offers unique "local" insight and provides detailed and entertaining information on many species, particularly in the "Fungus of the Month" pages.
Index Fungorum: This site provides recently published fungal nomenclature at the species level and below. Since fungal classification and nomenclature are changing every day, we use this site to check if a Genus species name published in field guides is still the current name. If a name has changed, then the new name is provided along with a list of outdated synonyms. Fun, fun!
