Karlsruhe (dpa/lsw) - The Karlsruhe Natural History Museum houses the largest mushroom collection in Baden-Württemberg and has maintained more than half of the approximately 111,000 dried specimens in a digital database. You can use the "digital catalog of fungi" on the museum's website to search for specific species or possible fungi that occur, for example, in connection with certain plants. "If the mushrooms were just dumped here, it wouldn't be of much use," explained curator Markus Scholler. "It is important that the public knows what the collection contains."
However, the portal is intended for professionals who know scientific names, for example. It does not serve as a distribution map for mushroom pickers and mappers, for example. If you are looking for something like this for Baden-Württemberg or Germany, you will find it in the mushroom portal of the German Society for Mycology.
