The fungal collection of FLD contains approximately 1700 specimens of principally wood decay and macrofungi with a geographic focus on southwestern Colorado and the greater southwestern United States. The collection was started and built up by Dr. J. Page Lindsey who worked at Fort Lewis College from 1978-2009. FLD also includes a vascular plant collection consisting of ca. 17,000 specimens. The vascular plant collection is fully databased and searchable via the Southwest Environmental Information Network (https://swbiodiversity.org/seinet/).
