Macrofungi of La Butte Creek, Fidler-Greywillow and Colin-Cornwall Wildland Provincial Parks

Description

During 2001 and 2002 a project to collect and identify the macrofungi of La Butte Creek, Fidler-Greywillow and Colin-Cornwall Lakes Wildland Provincial Parks, in northeastern Alberta was undertaken. This project was part of a greater biophysical investigation carried out by Parks and Protected Areas’ staff, and volunteers from a variety of scientific backgrounds. The fungi found belong to three major groups; the Ascomycota (cup fungi), Basidiomycota (mushrooms, rusts, smuts, etc.) and Myxomycota (slime molds). One hundred of the 156 species documented through this study have been previously recorded as occurring in Alberta. Valid Alberta records have yet to be found for the remaining 56 species. Also two species discovered (Gloeophyllum abietinum and Myriosclerotinia caricicampullaceae) are reportedly rare in North America.
