Coriolopsis phaea is among the 2,000 specimens of Chinese fungi that will be returned to
China in 2010.

Chinese mycologist S.C. Teng sent the organisms to Cornell University for protection in
1940, after the outbreak of World War II threatened his family and work.

The specimens that Teng was not able to ship were destroyed in the war.
