Dear Colleague

We are very pleased to announce that an expanded MycoKey version 3.2 is now available for download.

MycoKey 3.0 covered more than 874 genera of the Basidiomycota and Ascomycota (discomycetes) that occur in Northern Europe (i.e. Europe north of the Alps). Genera with only anamorphic or lichenised species are excluded. MycoKey includes more than 2,400 species illustrated by more than 4,100 high quality illustrations (see examples here: <http://www.mycokey.com/newmycokeysite/mycokey3pictures.html>), more than 17,000 references to literature and local names in Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Norwegian and Swedish.

In addition to this, version 3.2 includes 196 state-of-the-art Funga Nordica analytical species keys to more than 2600 species of agarics, boletes and cyphelloid fungi from northern Europe. An example demo key as pdf can be downloaded using this link: <http://www.mycokey.com/newmycokeysite/funganordica-amanita.pdf>.

If you are already a MycoKey 3.0 or 3.1 user you can upgrade to version 3.2 for free. If you have not yet installed MycoKey you can try out the 14 day demo version. In either case, use this link to go to the download pages: <http://www.mycokey.com/newmycokeysite/mycokey3sales.html>

We would be very pleased if you would try out these keys and spread the word in your local mycological communities. Reviews and links form your websites will of cause also be a great help.

Best wishes,
Thomas & Jens
