The collections are the result of extensive scientific work and are utilized for educational purposes and the exchange of scientific information both within the country and internationally. These collections offer valuable insights into the biodiversity and distribution of fungi in Georgia. They serve as a foundational resource for scientific research conducted by students and scientists worldwide. The Mycological Herbarium is registered in the New York herbarium database (INDEX HERBARIORUM) and is assigned the code AUMH (Agricultural University Mycological Herbarium) - https://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/ih/herbarium-details/?irn=253486
