A Closer Look: Harry D. Thiers Herbarium | ||||
With more
than 65,000 specimens of fleshy fungi, SFSU's Harry D. Thiers Herbarium
is the
largest and most important collection of such taxa
west of the Mississippi. Created by Professor Thiers in 1959, the
Herbarium in total holds more than 100,000 specimens of fungi and
other flora from around the world. In addition, the Herbarium has
two associated labs -- the Desjardin Lab and the Patterson Lab. It
also has a Web site that includes photos and documentation of agiracales
("gilled" mushrooms) from the Hawaiian Islands, Java, Bali
and Southeast Asia. Pictured here
is a salmon gilled agricale from Molokai.
