Abstracts |
This paper presents the UNITE project initiated in 2001 to address the problem on the availability of data on voucher specimen, country of collection and host of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi. Taxonomic reliability was the founding principle of the initiative; all records were determined to species level (or as far as possible) by researchers well versed in the taxonomic group in question, and all sequences were obtained from, or in association with, richly annotated fruiting bodies (voucher specimens) deposited in public herbaria. |
