Useful websites

The Internet is an excellent resource, but it is often difficult to locate what you need. To begin your search, you might try some of the following websites:

• Fun Facts About Fungi - http://herbarium.usu.edu
  (Fungi both cure and cause disease. They determine what plants grow in your yard and in forests, and keep us from being buried in waste. Some fungi taste great --others can kill you! This Website is hostedby the Uta State University Intermountain Herbarium)
• Fungi - http:tolweb.org/tree?group=Fungi&contgroup=Eukaryotes
  (The organisms of the fungal lineage include mushrooms, rusts, smuts, puffballs, truffles, morels, molds, and yeasts, as well as many less well-known organisms (Alexopoulos et al., 1996). About 70,000 species of fungi have been described; however, some estimates of total numbers suggest that 1.5 million species may exist. This Website hosted by University of Arizona provides detailed information including photos of fungi.)
• Myko Web - http://www.mykoweb.com/index.html
  (MykoWeb is about science of mycology (the study of the fungi) and the hobby of mushrooming (the pursuit of mushrooms). It is a production of Michael Wood, a past president of the Mycological Society of San Francisco. MykoWeb was started in the fall of 1995 and was one of the first internet mycology mushrooming sites. A major attraction ofMykoWeb is The Fungi of California which contains photographs and descriptions of over 400 species of fungi found in California (with over 1900 total photographs).)
• Internet Directory for Botany   - http://www.botany.net/IDB
