Danny Newman and Roo Vandegrift have wrapped up an experiment to identify the fungi of the Reserva Los Cedros, a 17,000 acre biological preserve right on the equator in the Ecaudorian Andes.
294 tissue samples of fungi, suspended in buffer-filled tubes, were sent off for sequencing.
The collected data of the identified fungi now live on MycoMap, a website that enables the linking and visualizing of data from across a wide range of databases - MycoPortal and herbarium records, GenBank accessions, Mushroom Observer observations, BLAST results, and more.
