The New Jersey Mycological Association (NJMA) has maintained a macro-fungi herbarium since 1978. It is named in honor of two departed members—Raymond M. Fatto and Dr. Eugene H. Varney. There are over 2,700 dried specimens that are kept with the mycological collection of Rutgers University in the Chrysler Herbarium. Anyone interested in examining these specimens please contact Dorothy Smullen through njmyco@njmyco.org.
