From Diversity Workbench
Description of the data source
DEEMY is collecting descriptive data on ectomycorrhizae. The data are stored in DiversityDescriptions. The online output of the database offers definitions of the descriptors (characters) of ectomycorrhizae used, morphological descriptions of the ectomycorrhizae, original hand drawings and photographs. Currently, DEEMY is comprising more than 500 types of ectomycorrhizae characterized by 498 often multi-state descriptors (characters). It includes more than 850 drawings of characters and 177 images of ectomycorrhizae (http://www.deemy.de/).
