Entomological and mycological collections contain unique material from insufficiently known regions of the former Soviet Union (the Russian Far East from Kamchatka to Primorye, Siberia, Central Asia, Transcaucasus, etc.) Estonian University of Life Sciences (EMU) has three major natural history collections:

  1. Herbarium of vascular plants and bryophytes (TAA)
  2. Fungal collection (TAAM, EAA) and collection fungal living cultures(TFC)
  3. Zoological collections comprising entomological collection (IZBE) and hydrobiological collection (EMHC).

There are also collections which serve as a basis in teaching agronomy, forestry and veterinary medicine. Detailed information about collections is available on website: http://kogud.emu.ee/?do=main

Futhermore, we host a zoomedical (3,447 specimens, 95 %recorded cards in the database) and a hydrobilogical collection (27 primary types, 55,000 specimens, 30 % recorded cards in database).

Heritage Science

Every collection has a library with monographs, periodicals, keys, maps, pictures and field notebooks of scientists.

Collection of fungal living cultures (www. http://kogud.emu.ee/?do=coll&id=11&lang=eng).

Presently the collection contains over 1500 fungal strains representing ca 400 fungal species from almost the whole world.

The cultures are mostly preserved in two replicas in tubes on appropriate malt, potato-dextrose or corn-meal agar slants and are transferred every 12 to 16 months.

The collection has a rather good representation of isolates of some species from the genera Phellinus and Hymenochaete.

The data about the isolates in the culture collection are available: http://iris.ut.ee/unite/temp/cfungi/index.php
