Amy, In the TORCH agenda, I visited the link (#3) with the herbarium listings. Do you know if curators are including all of the "plant" groups in their listings (Jenna, did you include our fungus collection as part of our herbarium report)? And, for me of course this would mean fleshy fungi (!), and I would not know for sure how plant pathologists list their collections. There does not seem to be a breakdown of what groups constitute the holdings in the herbaria (flowering plants, seedless vascular plants, algae, bryophytes, lichens, fungi, etc. ). Someone might like to know what
I believe Tiana said that this information comes from a download from Index Herbariorum (please correct me if I'm wrong, Tiana). There, on each collection's main page, is information about taxonomic coverage. There is also a tab for "collections summary". Fungi are not included in either spot for y'all.
We hope that you are able to join us at the November virtual TORCH monthly meeting on Monday, 17th of Nov. 2025 (9am). This is an opportunity to bring up ideas, questions, comments, and concerns that affect our herbarium community, and to share projects and news from your herbarium.
We'd like to hear your ideas (and understand your constraints) as we plan for the 2026 TORCH Annual Meeting.
