Creation of a database of known fungal species in Vermont, which will aggregate and digitize disparate fungal data sets to expand the relevance of future research related to carbon storage, old-growth characterization, forest regeneration capacity, conservation needs, and natural community assemblage patterning. The database will be used to create a checklist of fungi that currently and historically existed in Vermont and will be published and maintained at the Vermont Atlas of Life Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) server to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) as a Darwin Core Standard (DwC) checklist dataset and archived with the Forest Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative. This checklist will be publicly available to expand on research and knowledge of fungi’s contribution to our New England forests.
