Although separated by a massive ocean for millions of years, eastern North America and eastern Asia share several species of fungi -- species which do not occur anywhere else. Drs. Qiuxin Wu and Gregory Mueller of the Department of Botany at The Field Museum of Natural History (Chicago) provide this interesting resource, comparing Macrofungi of these distinct regions. Four sections form the backbone of the site: the Project Description section gives an overview (including methods); Study Sites covers geographic and vegetative information for Chinese and US study sites; Images of Fungi includes over 30 excellent color photographs of fungi species (collected at the study sites); and the Publications section summarizes data from previous studies and includes a reference list of related scientific publications. A modest selection of links rounds out the site.
