Species diversity of macrofungi in Shaluli Mountains,southwest China
The Shaluli Mountains are located in the central part of the Hengduan Mountains,southwest China.This is an area with wide ranges of altitudes and vertical distributions of vegetations.Macrofungal resources in this area are rich due to its diverse climate,varied topography,and diverse vegetation types.A three-year survey of macrofungal species diversity in the Shaluli Mountains was conducted to explore fundamental data on macrofungal resources in the region.The survey area includes eight nature reserves,and eight counties.In total,3 633 specimens were collected.The specimens were identified by DNA barcode sequencing combined with morphological examination and phylogenesis of some taxa was analysed.In the study,503 species were identified,and they belong to 19 orders,73 families and 162 genera.Among them,395 species were newly recorded in the Shaluli Mountains and 18 species were newly recorded in China.There were 14 families containing more than 10 species,including Russulaceae,Cortinariaceae,Amanitaceae,Pluteaceae,Tricholomataceae,Inocybaceae,Agaricaceae,etc.There were 18 genera containing more than 5 species,including Cortinarius,Russula,Lactarius,Amanita,Tricholoma,etc.Cosmopolitan,north temperate,and pan-tropical genera account for 56.7%,37.6%,and 4.9%of the total number of known genera,respectively.The resource evaluation showed that 60 species were edible,54 simultaneously edible and medicinal,20 medicinal,and 79 poisonous,showing increase of 50,38,9 and 62 species,respectively as compared with the previous record.Our study provides reference material for the conservation,utilization and management of macrofungal resources in the region.
