Entered December 2019.

The collected specimens, the slide collection of Mushrooms native to the region and arid areas of the country and the permanent preparations made by the group of teachers-researchers of these Projects, constitute this Micoteca that obtained in 2014 its legal framework and institutional belonging and in 2015 joined to the National Biological Data System (SNDB) as Unit 266-360. It has more than 1800 specimens that include Fungi s. l. (Ascomycota; Basidiomycota; Mucoromycota, Glomeromycotina; Amebozoa, Myxomycota), adding Plantae with symbiotic (mycorrhizal and endophytic) fungal hosts, and Lichens. The Group of work of MICODIF is composed of: D r. M. A. Lugo (Responsible), Biól. EM Crespo (Curator), Mic.
