Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The U.S. National Fungus Collections is the largest fungus collection in the world and thus a valuable source of host and geographic information. Specimen data has been computerized and available on the Web at http://nt.ars-grin.gov . Interactive keys with descriptions and illustrations have been developed for fungal plant pathogens that are linked to this specimen data, thus adding value to these systems.
