The BMBF-funded umbrella project to establish the German GBIF node for Mycology is coordinated by the Botanische Staatssammlung München. It has the aim to give access to a wide spectrum of biologically, ecologically and economically relevant biodiversity data from mycological research activities in Germany. The web site www.gbif-mycology.de is designed and an advanced IT infrastructure is developed.

There are nine public institutions involved, each with own thematically defined projects. Effective and sustainable usable structures will be built up to offer – at the end of the pilot phase – valuable research data on all major groups of fungi and lichens.
