The fungal collection is complemented by Estonia’s oldest mycology research library, consisting of 790 books and more than 10 scientific journals. This literature supported Elmar Leppik’s research, including notable works like Annales Mycologici, Bulletin de la Société Mycologique de France, Mycologie, Mycology, Rabenhorst’s Flora, and Saccardo’s Sylloge Fungorum, among others.
Details about the books can be found in the ESTER database (search for the Estonian University of Life Sciences Library under the Leppik Fund).
In many books in Elmar Leppik’s mycology library bear the stamps of their former owners.
The journals are meticulously bound by yearly volumes, and the books are housed in their original cabinets.
