ArbTalk Fungi Directory - facts & figures

It's nearly a year since it's inception, so I thought I'd give a snap shot to give a flavour as to how the directory is fairing.

 

We currently have 71 (individual) Galleries

 

29 are classed as Parasitic

40 are classed as Saprophytic

& 8 are classed as Mycorrhizal.

(a few will be cross overs having attributes of being both parasitic & saprophytic)

 

In total there has been to date 51706 views of the galleries

 

The top 10 visited are;

David,

Scan the Soortenbank : index, look at the photo's of the species and tell me what you want, how, what size, etc.

And in what way is protection of © guaranteed ?

[sean freeman]

You are an inspiration Mr Humphries, thankyou for commiting so much time and effort and to Steve for helping make this resource available to all and sundry...even the unwashed from upside down land!

[Sam Thompson]

Its very good of you to commit your time to teaching the great unwashed of the tree world what mushrooms are what. Its been really handy for me (especially on my phone). Keep up the good work

- Armillaria mellea - Honey Fungus

 

David,

 

Some suggestions on the content.

- Maybe differentiating the biotrophic from the necrotrophic ("cross over") parasites could be implemented.

- You could use my photo's of both the necrotrophic parasitic Armillaria mellea and A. ostoyae and the saprotrophic A. lutea (= A. bulbosa) and the descriptions on my CD-rom to show the differences among the three species.
