The TRTC Fungarium

Welcome to the TRTCFungarium!

TRTC holds an estimated half a million fungal collections and about 1,000 type specimens, making it one of the most significant fungal depository in North America. Its holding is richest in Eastern Canadian material but has a worldwide representation. While the vast majority of the collections have still to be properly databased, this site is a first attempt to electronically disseminate TRTC data in a comprehensive manner to researchers, natural resource managers, amateur mycologists, and the public. Facilities for visiting scholars include standard microscopes, an extensive library, Internet access, and possible technical assistance for molecular biology work.
