A rapid method for the assessment of the macromycota. The fungal community of an evergreen cloud forest as an example

摘要

The macromycota of an evergreen cloud forest was described using a simple method, intended to minimize taxonomic work but still provide an accurate account of diversity. The method showed that the fungal community in the area is spatially structured and that area sampled limited the recording of fungal richness in this study. Parameters derived from the Clench equation suggest that an area of 1 ha will maximize the proportion of recorded taxa and minimize sampling effort.Key words: fungal diversity, macrofungal communities, tropical mycoecology, El Triunfo.
