Aphyllophoroid fungi in insular woodlands of eastern Ukraine.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fungi play crucial roles in ecosystems and are among the species-richest organism groups on Earth. However, knowledge on their occurrence lags behind the data for animals and plants. Recent analyses of fungal occurrence data from Western, Central and Northern Europe provided important insights into response of fungi to global warming. The consequences of the global changes for biodiversity on a larger geographical scale are not yet understood. Landscapes of Eastern Europe and particularly of eastern Ukraine, with their specific geological history, vegetation and climate, can add substantially new information about fungal diversity in Europe.

New information

We describe the dataset and provide a checklist of aphyllophoroid fungi (non-gilled macroscopic Basidiomy
