  With the creation of programs such as 123 Catch, Augment and Meshmixer it became possible to create and view 3D models on personal electronic gadgets, what is an excellent platform for studying structural features of fungi. Currently, members of the group study already existing publicly available models (images 7,8) and working to create their own.
