Introduction to the
Digital Exsiccate of Fungi

These pages are Netscape(internet-link: "http://home.netscape.com/comprod/mirror/index.html") enhanced.

During a cooperation between the Universities of Tübingen, Germany and Göteborg, Sweden the need for a real powerfull tool for identification, documentation and communication in mycology became obvious.
The now a days wide spread use of computers and internet accessibility made the World Wide Web a optimal medium to distribute data, text and images. The intention of the Digital Exsiccate of Fungi is to:

make available data of fungi including detailed illustrations
reduce the necessity to loan type material
help with determinations
even present douptfull or probably new species to the audience of mycologists
offer the possibility to contribute to the project

These WWW pages are under construction.
Species, preferably types, are added from time to time.

If you have an old browser that does not display the new features of the HTML-language like tables and backgrounds, try this:

How to use the Digital Exsiccate of Fungi?

All information is stored in a logical structure on the server. HTML documents of species are stored in the corresponding genus folder.

The directory structure on the server:

www.uni-tuebingen.de/uni/bbm/
homepage of the institute Spezielle Botanik
informations on lectures, staff, publications etc.
mycology/
mycology homepage
genera lists
species lists
keys
genus1/
species1
species2
species3
etc.
genus2/
species1
species2
species3
etc.

For each species there are two kinds of documents:

Main document containing description of the species with links to illustrations. Information is given about nomenclature, macro- and micromorphology, biogeography, similar species, typical specimens in herbaria, references.: additional document with illustration, e.g. hymenium

additional document with illustration, e.g. typical spores

additional document with etc., etc.; additional document with illustration, e.g. typical spores

additional document with etc., etc.; additional document with etc., etc.

There are various links in each document to go back to species lists, genera lists and so on.
The illustrations shown in the pages are compressed inline graphics in GIF format. They normaly are not bigger than 100 kBytes.
In some cases there are also downloadable JPEG files available.
