Fungal Species of Iowa

These descriptions, written by Rosanne Healy, cover most species of fungi (mushrooms, plant parasites, etc.) found in Iowa. The distribution maps are derived from ISC's fungal collections as of ca. 2008. Most of the photographs are by George Knaphus.

More detailed descriptions, and distributions for the whole mid-continental US, can be found in Huffman, Tiffany, & Knaphus's Mushrooms & Other Fungi of the Midcontinental United States (2010, University of Iowa Press).
