Threats and state of conservation of aphyllophoroid fungi in the Mediterranean

Sergio P. Gorjón, Annarosa Bernicchia

Abstract


Aphyllophoroid fungi is an artificial and diverse group of fungi, often little considered in mycological inventories, but very important in the forest dynamics. In this paper we summarize generally some of the most relevant and interesting habitats in the Mediterranean for this group of fungi, and briefly analyze the conservation problematics.

Keywords
