Descripción
This occurrence database contains records of the mushrooms based on the herbarium specimens deposited at the Tribhuvan University Central Herbarium (TUCH) managed by the Central Department of Botany, Tribhuvan University Nepal. TUCH is registered in Index Herbarium in 2001 and posses over 22,000 specimens. This database is a part of a project funded by the Biodiversity Information Fund for Asia (BIFA; project no. BIFA5_023 to Shiva Devkota) program of Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) supported by the Ministry of Environment, Government of Japan and co-funding came from the Himalayan Climate & Science Institute (HCSI), ForestAction Nepal and Global Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies (GIIS).

Datos del proyecto
A research project on Digitization of mycological collections in Nepal is being implemented by the Global Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies (GIIS), Kathmandu in collaboration with Department of Plant Resources (DPR), Ministry of Forest and Environment, Government of Nepal, Central Department of Botany, Tribhuvan University (CDB, TU) and Natural History Museum (NHM), Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu. The DPR is managing National Herbarium and Plant Laboratories (KATH), the CDB TU is managing by Tribhuvan University Central Herbarium (TUCH) and the NHM TU is managing one and only natural history museum in Nepal. Mycological collections of both wild mushrooms and lichens that have been deposited at KATH, TUCH and NHM were digitized.

| Fuentes de Financiación | The main funding for this project (BIFA5_023) came from the Biodiversity Information Fund for Asia (BIFA) program of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) which was funded by the Ministry of Environment, Government of Japan and co-funding from the Himalayan Climate & Science Institute (HCSI), ForestAction Nepal and Global Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies (GIIS). |
| Descripción del área de estudio | Nepal in South Asia |
| Descripción del diseño | The main goal of this project is to fill taxonomic, geographical and historical gaps in understanding mushrooms and lichens flora in Nepal. Furthermore, the following are key issues this project seeks to address: Issue I: Digitization of mushroom and lichen specimen and ancillary data / publications Issue II: Capacity building of involved project partners Issue II: Mushrooms and lichens expedition and documentations of their diversity (co-funding). Issue III: Bringing the knowledge on lichens and mushrooms in intergovernmental forum and assessment process. Issue IV: Finding Science-policy nexus for the resource identification and management. |

| Propósito | Digitization has been a fast-growing process mostly in academic institutions for the preservation and dissemination of knowledge. In the global north, collections deposited in the libraries, natural history museums, and herbaria have been more or less digitized than in the global south. Therefore, for the conservation of the biological diversity and associated knowledge, documentation, digitization and analysis of the specimens of the global south are crucial. Mushroom in the other hand is already the understudied and underprivileged group and demands further research and extension. This digitization project aims to fulfil that gap and contribute to the records of GBIF by digitizing mushrooms herbarium collections deposited in different herbaria in Nepal. The data produced after digitization will serve as the foundation of mycological knowledge of Nepal quantifying their availability at different deposition centres with every ancillary detail. Digitization of available fungi is also important for the mycologists working at different institutions to understand their ecology, distribution, phenology and possible multidisciplinary research plans; high school and university students to share and understand about such fungal groups; mycophilic communities around to understand and share their knowledge and importantly for the building interest on mushrooms. Furthermore, as Nepal is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, existing knowledge on mushrooms is crucial to understand the impacts of climate change on the less explored taxonomic group. |
