UAMH
The University of Alberta Microfungus
Collection and Herbarium is a Canadian microbial
resource centre involved in the conservation and distribution of
fungi of scientific, industrial and heritage importance.
Consisting of
10,800 accessions representing more than 3200 species,
the fungi catalogued at the UAMH are the result of almost 70 years of
taxonomic and biodiversity research by other scientists and us. The UAMH is internationally renowned for the depth of
its collections of medically important fungi (pathogenic, opportunistic,
toxigenic, allergenic fungi) and allied taxa. The
electronically-accessible records containing information on
epidemiology, pathology, published case histories, and taxonomic data
provide information vital to the understanding of human fungal diseases
in Canada. We serve as a reference centre for the identification of
human pathogens and provide consultation on health affects of indoor
mold growth in buildings.
