Notes
Updated April 2024 (mailing address, incorporated herbaria). The original herbarium was destroyed by fire in 1934. Specimen data are available online through SERNEC (http://sernecportal.org), Mycology Collections Portal (http://mycoportal.org), Consortium of North American Bryophyte Herbaria (http://bryophyteportal.org), and Consortium of North American Lichen Herbaria (http://lichenportal.org). Please note that the John C. Warden Herbarium (ETSU) has been relocated to TENN and should continue to be cited as ETSU.
