Presenta la descrizione di oltre 1200 specie fungine commestibili e non. Le varie specie sono raggruppate all'interno del genere di appartenenza ed ogni specie fungina ha una descizione delle principali caratteristiche macro- e microscopiche. Molte specie hanno il nome volgare oltre a quello presente nelledizione francese e tedesca. Sono presenti tavole con le caratteristiche microscopiche delle principali specie. Ha un glossario dei termini micologici pi\uf9 utilizzati. E' stato stampato in un formato molto comodo per essere utilizzato nelle escursioni micologiche

The biodiversity indices and the dominance–diversity curves indicate a discrete fungal diversity with the dominance of few species. Edible mushrooms such as Hydnum repandum , Lactarius deliciosus , L. sanguifluus , Suillus granulatus S. luteus and truffles ( Tuber aestivum , T. borchii and T. macrosporum ) were found in the study area. These fungi are traditionally harvested and are an important complementary economical source for local population. Considering the economic importance of these non-wood forest products, forest management should play major attention to their safeguard.

To this purpose, a study was conducted in the Mediterranean holm oak (Quercus ilex) woods within the Maremma Regional Park during 2013. The sampling was carried out in 12 permanents plots, taking note of all the fungal species found on each piece of dead wood, irrespective of size and stage of decay. 89 species of wood-inhabiting fungi were recorded, among which 13 regarded as rare and 14 as typically Mediterranean. The fungal community seems to be dominated by a small number of species which are by far more abundant than the others. The results allowed us to characterize the wood-inhabiting fungal community in holm-oak dominated habitats, broaden our ecological knowledge on several species and provide a preliminary database for further studies in Mediterranean areas.

The authors report up-to-date numbers of fungi (Basidiomycota and Ascomycota) by regions together with distributional and ecological data on hypogeous fungi. Specific case studies such as alpine fungi, orchid mycorrhizas symbionts, invasive species, and the use of macrofungi as food by red squirrels are analyzed. In situ conservation strategies carried out on target species and/or taxonomic groups are also indicated.

The Fungi kingdom includes producers of goods and services for ecosystems and organisms widely used in the food industry. Besides, macrofungi are recognized as non-timber forest products and could be utilized as agents of environmental management through weed biocontrol and environmental improvement. Moreover, the cultivation of fungi, in particular truffles, can provide an important income in agroecosystems, especially in marginal areas, along with the development of new technologies to produce novel products from fungi.

Such groups of species are easily assessed and may reflect the diversity of other important and less easily detectable taxa (cross-taxon surrogacy). Among these key groups of species, the vascular plant flora has great potential in determining diversity of other groups, since in terrestrial ecosystems it constitutes the bulk of total biomass and provides the physical structure for other organisms. The cross-taxon congruence of species diversity (species richness and species composition) among vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens, fungi, oligochaetes, butterflies and birds was investigated with special attention to testing the potential role of vegetation as surrogate for the other studied taxa. The 271 ha Nature Reserve ''Bosco di S. Agnese'' (Tuscany, Italy) characterised by evergreen Mediterranean woodlands, scrublands, garigues, xeric grasslands and cultivations was used as study area. A multi-scale sampling design, based on a restricted random selection of plots, was used to get information about vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens, fungi, oligochaetes, butterflies and birds. The congruence in species richness and composition among the different taxa was tested by Spearman rank correlation coefficient. Most of the pair-wise comparisons showed weak and statistically not significant correlations for both species richness and compositional data, indicating a limited cross-taxon congruence. Species richness of vascular plants was significantly correlated only to that of birds and butterflies. Compositional patterns were congruent only between vascular plants and butterflies. The results of this study

The data obtained are analysed in relation to environmental parameters to determine their influence on the composition of fungal communities in the study areas.

Later the European Mediterranean Mycological Confederation (CEMMae) proposed the census of 43 species (two of which correspond to the SBI list). Finally the SBI Working Group for Mycology and the CEMMae decided to join their efforts and a list of 66 taxa was proposed as a starting point to evaluate their distribution in Mediterranean countries. Recently the Italian Ministry of Environment funded the project of check-list of Italian fungi and consequently the investigations in many regions were enlarged. In the frame of this project, data on the spatial and temporal distribution of macrofungi in Siena Province (Tuscany, C. Italy) are reported in this paper.
