Investigation on the diversity of macrofungi resources in Chun'an county
In order to scientifically evaluate the distribution and species diversity of macrofungi in Chun'an county,504 specimens were collected using a grid survey method for 2 consecutive years.Through morphological and molecular iden-tification,257 species of macrofungi were recognized,belonging to 140 genera,60 families,18 orders,5 classes,and 2 phyla.Among them,species from 6 dominant families,Polyporaceae,Russulaceae,Agaricaceae,Psathyrellaceae,Maras-miaceae,and Fomitopsidaceae,accounted for 44.75% of the total.The nine dominant genera,namely Russula,Amanita,Trametes,Marasmius,Psathyrella,Mycena,Ganoderma,Lycoperdon,and Auricularia,accounted for 28.02% of the total.The macrofungi with significant economic value included 36 edible,42 medicinal,32 medicinal and edible fungi,and 22 poisonous.From the perspective of ecosystem type analysis,the largest number of macrofungi species are distributed in the mixed coniferous-broad forest,with 176 species,accounting for 68.48% of the total species.From the analysis of nutri-tional types,the main types were woody fungi,ectomycorrhizal fungi,and soil fungi,accounting for 56.42%,22.57%,20.23%,respectively.The above studies provided valuable information for the protection,development,and utilization of macrofungal resources in this area.
