Fungi of Iowa

Welcome!

Pardon our spores, Fungi of Iowa is still under construction. Please check back regularly to see the new developments.

Fungi of Iowa is part of an on-going project of the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology at Iowa State University. This site is designed to provide a handy resource for the identification and evaluation of fungi in Iowa.

Project features:

Currently, we have and are building species information pages which include images and descriptions of many species of Iowa fungi.

There is also an interactive database of 30,000+ herbarium specimens which can be searched.

Stay tuned for upcoming features including an interactive identification key!
