The Herbarium Fr. Camille Torrend (URM) was created in 1954, under the leadership of the illustrious mycologist Prof. Augusto Chaves Batista. In its first year of operation, the URM Herbarium had 1141 registered exsiccatae. This number was soon increased, thanks to donations made, among others, by Prof. Petrak (fungi from Austria), by the Universities of Pavia and University of California and by the Institute of Botany at the University of Turku, Finland (Pucciniaceae). Among the main national collectors are Bento Pickel, E.P. Heringer, Oswaldo Soares, Dárdano de Andrade Lima, Albino Vital and Prof. Augusto Chaves Batista. Among important international collectors, the collaboration of the following scientists should be highlighted: Fr. Camille Torrend, E. Petrak, Rolf Singer, J.L. Howard, G.W. Martin, T.H. MacBride, N. Harrington, J.P. Trace, J.A. von Arx, B. Cooke, R. Ciferri, K. Pirozinski, H. Johannes, and others.
