Arizona Flora

Managers: Arizona State University Vascular Plant Herbarium
Arizona is the third or fourth most floristically rich state in the US with perhaps as many as 3900 species of vascular plants. Over the last 60 years an average of ca. 12 new species records have been reported annually.

Fungi Across the World: Historic

Managers: Not defined

As perhaps only 5% of the total diversity of fungal species on Earth have been described (Hawksworth D.L. Mycological Research 105:1422-1432), knowledge of the fungal flora of the Earth is likely far from being complete. The checklists presented here represent historic published accounts or list of species authored by mycologists who described large numbers of taxa or are known for collecting in a particular regions of the World. Acknowledged here are the considerable contributions that the mycologists associated with these lists made toward a more comprehensive accounting of the diversity of macrofungal species across the globe.

Fungi of North America: Historic

Managers: Not defined

As perhaps only 5% of the total diversity of fungal species on Earth have been described (Hawksworth D.L. Mycological Research 105:1422-1432), knowledge of the fungal flora of the United States is likely far from being complete. The checklists presented here represent historic published accounts or list of species authored by mycologists who described large numbers of taxa from North America. Acknowledged here are the considerable contributions that the mycologists associated with these lists made toward a more comprehensive accounting of the diversity of macrofungal species within North America.

Macrofungi Across the World: Countries

 As perhaps only 5% of the total diversity of fungal species on Earth have been described (Hawksworth D.L. Mycological Research 105:1422-1432), the checklists presented here are likely far from being complete. These checklists, therefore, are works in progress and should be considered contributions toward a more comprehensive accounting of the worldwide diversity of macrofungal species.

What is a research checklist?

Research checklists are pre-compiled by biologists. This is a very controlled method for building a species list, which allows for specific occurrences to be linked to the species names within the checklist and thus serve as vouchers. Occurrence vouchers are proof that the species actually occurs in the given area. If there is any doubt, one can inspect these occurrences for verification or annotate the identification when necessary.
