8. aug. 2022A typical specimen from the Nordic collection, with associated photos and description of the collection. This is Cortinarius glandicolor.
-
8. aug. 2022Some of our specimens are DNA-barcoded. This specimen turned out to be a different species from what the collector first noted, namely Helvella pezizoides.
-
8. aug. 2022Some collectors have taken the time to write detailed descriptions, and even paint beautiful watercolors of the muchrooms they find! Here we have a small Lactarius from Svalbard.
-
8. aug. 2022In fungi, microscopical characters are often important to identify the species. We therefore have quite a few microscope slides in our collections. On these, the microscopical characters are preserved.
-
8. aug. 2022This specimen had to be identified using microscopy. The collector has illustrated how the spores look under the microscope, as well as made a spore print. Cortinarius porphyropus.
-
8. aug. 2022Some collections need to be collected together with their substrate. Here we have the disease-causing oomycete potato blight (Phytophthora infestans) on potato (Solanum tuberosum).
-
8. aug. 2022Some fungi attack and cause disease in animals. The yellow "fluff" on the back end of this hover fly is a fly mold (Entomophthora muscae).
-
8. aug. 2022A matchbox can serve as a suitable collection container for tiny fungi. Helvella alpestris from Grimsdalen, Dovre.
-
8. aug. 2022Really old collections often look different from collections of more recent date. This agaric (Amanita caesarea) from 1855 is cut into thin slices and pressed the same way as we often press plants.
-
8. aug. 2022Two coral fungi that are pressed using the same technique. These two have both changed name since they were collected in 1855. Artomyces pyxidatus and Clavulinopsis corniculata.
-
8. aug. 2022We also have books in our collections. These are original drawings with notes by Britzelmayer. Was bought by the University of Oslo, through Axel Blytt, in 1894.
