Lately at CUP we are working to curate and digitize the extensive collections of G.F. Atkinson (1854-1918), a prolific and influential Cornell mycologist.
As a member of the Consortium of Lichen Herbaria, CUP is contributing data to lichenportal. And with the Macrofungi Collections Consortium, we are contributing CUP data to mycoportal, part of an effort to document macrofungi in North America. We appreciate support from the National Science Foundation for these projects.
The Cornell Plant Pathology Herbarium (CUP) is a large research collection of preserved fungi and other organisms that cause plant diseases. CUP is the fourth or fifth largest mycological herbarium in North America. We hold about 400,000 fungus and plant disease specimens, including over 7000 type specimens, each the first of its kind to be described and named. The CUP Photograph Collection includes about 60,000 historical scientific photographs of mushrooms, agricultural practices, plant diseases, and portraits.
Our collections have moved into a newly-renovated, permanent facility on Game Farm Road, at the eastern edge of the Cornell campus. Our new home provides excellent space for our collections and for visitors. Please note that our mailing address has not changed.
