Fungal Systematics and Evolution
Spring Fungi of the Sierra Nevada
In June of 1982, Dr. Harry D. Thiers, former Professor of Biology at San Francisco State University, held the first Spring Fungi of the Sierra Nevada course (Biol. 315) at the Field Campus of San Francisco State University. Since its inception, the course has been taught by a number of professional mycologists. Nearly every year since 1982 we have kept a list of species collected during the course. To date, the list totals over 500 species of fungi. Voucher specimens for most taxa included in the list are deposited at the Harry D. Thiers Herbarium at San Francisco State University. The list is updated annually with taxonomic changes and any new taxa encountered. Last update: January 2019
