This Fungi of Ecuador website shares results from a fungal biodiversity research project conducted by mycologists Thomas Laess'e, of the University of Copenhagen, and Jens H. Petersen, of the University of Aarhus. The site offers a Collections Database with search fields for species, collector, herbarium, locality, and more. The site's Taxon Database allows visitors to search for trophic strategy, systematic group, form group, and name. The site also provides a collection of beautiful photographs that can be located by either an index or database search engine. Notably, the site offers an extensive list of relevant literature spanning the past 100 years. In addition, the site contains selected links and also a couple photos of a simple cardboard dryer, with brief notes about drying specimens in the tropics.
