Welcome to WNMU's microfungal image gallery

$5 Poster
Welcome to the new microfungal image gallery within the Western New Mexico University Microfungi Research site. This
image gallery has been visited by mycophiles from over 80 different
countries and contains a large collection
of images of microfungi as well as related information. This is a
service project so I can only work on the items during my spare
time. The images were taken from a slide collection
accumulated over several years by various people or donated by mycophiles like yourself. Please feel free to
use the contents of this site for informational and educational purposes, but please make sure to give proper
credit to Western New Mexico University and the students that have worked hard
to compile this information. If you are a commercial entity,
please
contact us to inquire about permission or purchase of the
images. It is quite clear that many microfungi are
polyphyletic and so even the genus identification may be tenuous at
best (please visit vol. 98 (6) for a special "deep hyphae" issue of
Mycologia for additional taxonomic details). Consequently,
please do not rely on this information to "identify" isolates
without the assistance of a good mycologist. Part of this site
made possible by work funded by NSF grant DEB-0715746
Enjoy.
