Search for CUP specimens via MyCoPortal
We manage data for specimens and some photographs in MyCoPortal, which serves data from many American fungus collections. Not all of our holdings have been digitized. If you do not find what you’re looking for via MyCoPortal, please email us with your request—we can search our physical collections for you.
Search CUP Photograph Collections
Over 16,000 of our digitized photographs can be browsed and searched via ArtStor, courtesy of Cornell University Library. Be sure to click the “search within results” box to limit your search to our CUP photos. More on CUP’s Photograph Collections here.
In our physical facility, CUP collections are filed by accession number, not fungus name. In addition to our databasing efforts, specimens are currently indexed by a large card file. The downside of our space-efficient system is that the Curator must visit many locations to find, for e.g., “all of our Amanita” specimens. If requesting specimens for loan, please make your request as specific as you can.
