The HAY Fungarium at Cal State East Bay

The fungal collections of HAY at California State University East Bay (formerly CSU Hayward) currently include over 6000 macrofungal specimens, with several thousand additional specimens expected to be accessioned in 2024-2025. The collection consists primarily of Agaricomycotina and Pezizomycotina specimens from California, Hawai'i and Vanuatu, including vouchers resulting from the research projects of Dr. Brian Perry and students, as well as the ongoing California FUNDIS Project.

Information on the collections housed at HAY can be found on the Mycology Collections Data Portal (MyCoPortal).

Interested in borrowing specimens from the HAY Fungarium? Please see our loan policy and contact the Fungarium Director, Dr. Brian A. Perry, at brian.perry@csueastbay.edu.

Information for prospective students

The Department of Biological Sciences at CSU East Bay offers a Master of Science degree, with potential support from various sources depending on the individual student. The Perry lab is always looking for talented students with interests in fungal systematics, evolution, genetics and ecology. Interested students should explore the lab website to view the types of research we conduct, see relevant information on the departmental website, and contact Dr. Perry directly.
