Scope and Contents

From the Series:

There are 22 boxes of research papers that consist of specimen lists, laboratory records, dichotomous keys, index cards, and notes on fungi, authors, forays, cultures, collections, and other mycological topics. There are 7 files relating to cultures of fungi cultivated by ants (Neal Weber series); 50 files (notebooks) of culture records (1959-1996); 3 files of field notes on collections from the Philippine Islands (1945) and the Solomon Islands (1944-45); 3 files of a host index of Utah fungi; 20 files of specimen lists of species of Hypomyces; 22 files of lists and notes pertaining to mycological forays; and an accession book to Dr. Rogerson's personal herbarium. Several files contain data on collections of neotropical fungi collected by Bassett Maguire, Gary Samuels, and others. There is a list of collection locations, a type specimen register, and an index to a portion of the color slide collection (see Series 9: Graphic Material).

The index cards (14 boxes) consist of indices to Hypocreales, Peck collection, New York collection, cultures, fungicolous fungi, and others. There is a partial host index for Mycologia (vols 59-73) and two sequences of the Torrey Botanical Club index organized by genus.
