Many people have contributed their work to this web site and we would like to thank the following people for their contribution:  Wes Colgan, Eric T. Peterson, Jamie L. Platt, Rytas Vilgalys and many others. Several of the images referenced in these webpage were taken from, or they are linked to the incredible websites authored by Anki Camacho and Tom Volk. Also, starting in 1998 the graduate students enrolled in BOT 561 were required to construct a webpage on a species of fungi and many of these images are used throughout BOT 461/561 webpages. All of the images and the webpages themselves can be accessed below.

Additionally, since eventually there will be a large number of links on this page you can move easily to the major grouping you'd like using the following links.
