Abstract

This first phase of the project consists of expanding on the work carried out in previous years. By achieving the proposed objectives, it will be possible to assemble a structure that will allow us to continue with the second phase of the project, which will be the identification of all possible toxic edible mushrooms. The main objectives are:

  1. To organize and adapt the material collected since 1983, both bibliographic and herbarium.
  2. To standardize the herbarium with international standards to make it a useful reference tool, unique in the country to date.
  3. To acquire relevant documentation on macromycetes and prepare sufficient material to continue with the second phase of the study.
  4. To create the necessary conditions for the Mycology Laboratory to be considered a national reference center for macromycetes and be prepared to respond to any inquiries that may arise.
