Updated Mycogeography of Italian Ascomycota

Look forward to our next project! Thank you.

 

The data listing (checklists) of plant associated Ascomycota in Italy

Documenting scattered mycological data into a checklist is an advantageous procedure and it serves the preference of the modern researchers in gathering data. Generally, it is challenging to update the fungal lists reported for a particular biotope. In some cases, these lists are based on a single observation event (Gams 2004). However, the continuous data recording, with repeating the lists over the years creates data-rich sources. Also, these checklists provide the biological and ecological information of species to understand their threats and managing of protected areas and forests (Gams 2004, Compagno et al. 2011). We are compiling scattered mycological data regarding Italia Ascomycota in order to bridge the identified research gaps.
