A new option, Locality, has been added to the Display options. This will sort the results by geographic location.

Fungus name

• Enter a genus and/or species name.
• To do a left to right wildcard search append a * to the end of the search criteria. For example av* in the species box would select all of the species starting with av. Sept* in the genus box and cor* in the species box would also be an acceptable entry.
• If you only enter a genus name then all of the species for that genus will be selected.
• To include variety/subspecies names append a * to the end of the specific epithet OR enter a genus in the Genus field and enter the variety/subspecies name in the Species field (for example, elynae var. elynae).
• In order to include synonyms in the search, enter a complete name in both the Genus and Species fields and select "Use synonyms" under Options.
• You may enter only one of the following: fungus name, fungus group, fungus order.

Fungus Group

• The categories provided are derived from The Dictionary of the Fungi, the Anamorph-Teleomorph database maintained by the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures and a list of hyphomycetes provided by Keith Seifert.
• You may enter only one of the following: fungus name, fungus group, fungus order.
• Fungus Group alone may not be used for a search.

Fungus Order

• The orders provided are derived from The Dictionary of the Fungi.
• You may enter only one of the following: fungus name, fungus group, fungus order.
• Fungus Order alone may not be used for a search.

To see the genera included in an order enter the order name.

Order:

To determine the placement of a genus enter the genus name.

Genus:

Host name

• Enter a genus and/or species name.
• If you know only the common name you may use a common name to search for a scientific name.
• To do a left to right wildcard search append a * to the end of the search criteria. For example aest* in the species box would select all of the species starting with aest. Trit* in the genus box and aest* in the species box would also be an acceptable entry.
• If you only enter a genus name then all of the species for that genus will be selected.
• To include variety/subspecies names append a * to the end of the specific epithet OR enter a genus in the Genus field and enter the variety/subspecies name in the Species field (for example, vulgaris subsp. vulgaris).
• In order to include synonyms in the search, enter a complete name in both the Genus and Species fields and select "Use synonyms" under Options.
• You may search on a host name OR family.

Host Family

• You may enter a host family or click on one of the letter groups to view and select a family.
• You may search on a host name OR family.
• Host Family alone may not be used for a search.

Locality

• Enter a country, territory or U.S. state in the Locality field OR select a region/continent.
• You may select a locality from this list of localities or regions/continents currently in the database.
• Locality alone may not be used for a search.

Display

• Selecting Fungus Host will display the hosts listed below each fungus name. Selecting Host Fungus does the opposite.
• Selecting Citations will list the literature citations used for the distribution information.

Email

• If you enter an email address the search results will be mailed to that address. You may choose to receive
  (1) a text file (txt) formatted as displayed on the screen,
  (2) an rtf file (rtf) which may be opened in an application like Microsoft Word or
  (3) a comma delimited file (comma) which may be imported into a database or spreadsheet.
• Emailed results are not restricted to 1,000 records as are results returned to the browser.

Use synonyms

• If you check Use Synonyms for the fungus name, synonym and alternate state names in the database will be included in the search.
• Checking Use Synonyms for the host name will include synonyms from the Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN), Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the PLANTS Database, Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
• Nomenclature information will be displayed at the top of the search results.
• To use this option, you must enter a complete name in both the Genus and Species fields.
