The Scientists Behind Cornell’s Mushroom Museum - The Cornell Daily Sun
The Cornell Plant Pathology Herbarium (CUP) is home to extensive fungi research, connecting students and faculty to the exciting field of mycology.

Dr. Teresa Iturriaga is an incredible resource, and one-of-a-kind! We are so lucky to have her.
Also, I didn't know CUP had over 400k fungal specimens!
