The goal of the SibMycoPortal project is to create a unified resource for accessing collections of fungi and fungus-like organisms located in Siberia. Its started as initiative of researchers working in different orgatizations in Western Siberia and having ditigized collections of fungi or starting digitization programms in their organizations. Currently the collaboration includes about 10 research organizations and this number will grow in the future.

The immediate project goal is to have the main collections available online on the portal by the end of 2025 and to publish a data paper describing all the collections data.
