Extensions of known geographic distribution of aphyllophoroid fungi (Basidiomycota) in Finland

Abstract

This article contributes the knowledge of Finnish aphyllophoroid funga with nationally or regionally new species, and records of rare species. Ceriporia bresadolae, Clavaria tenuipes and Renatobasidium notabile are presented as new aphyllophoroid species to Finland. Ceriporia bresadolae and R. notabile are globally rare species. The records of Ceriporia aurantiocarnescens, Crustomyces subabruptus, Sistotrema autumnale, Trechispora elongata, and Trechispora silvaeryae are the second in Finland. New records (or localities) are provided for 33 species with no more than 10 records in Finland. In addition, 76 records of aphyllophoroid species are reported as new to some subzones of the boreal vegetation zone in Finland. Notes on substrata and habitats of each record are given, and the ecology and distribution of some species are discussed.

Diversity and distribution of Finnish aphyllophoroid and heterobasidioid fungi (Basidiomycota): An update

“…Notes. 10 th record in Finland; previous records: Raasepori (1b), Sipoo (2a), Porvoo (2a), Hyvinkää (2a), Padasjoki (2a), Hirvensalmi (2b), Ruovesi (2b), Savonranta (2b), and Hyrynsalmi (3b) (Spirin et al 2013;Kunttu et al 2016;FinBIF 2021c). Vulnerable.…”

“…The checklist of Finnish aphyllophoroid fungi was published in 2009 ). Since that time, substantial new information on both aphyllophoroid and heterobasidioid species has accumulated, which includes a total of 102 species new to Finland (H. Kotiranta, unpublished), 406 records of rare species, and 525 species new to some region (e.g., Kunttu et al 2016Kunttu et al , 2018Kunttu et al , 2019. The species that are new to Finland can be either factually new finds or results of better understanding of species identity due to taxonomic revisions.…”

Aphyllophoroid funga (Basidiomycota) of Finland: range extensions and records of nationally new and rare species

“…These are the third and fourth records of the species in Finland; previous records were from Lieksa (3b) and Kuusamo (4a) [2]. This is the fifth record of the species in Finland; previous records were from Hyrynsalmi (3b), Rovaniemi (3c), Kuusamo (4a), and Savukoski (4c) [2,9]. This is the third record of the species in Finland; previous records were from Padasjoki (2a) and Inari (4c) [2].…”

“…), the majority of which are corticioids and polypores [2,4,5]. A large body of knowledge on the occurrence and distribution of aphyllophoroid species has been accumulated after the first Finnish checklist [2], especially on polypores and corticioids, but also on clavarioids (e.g., [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]).…”

Dead-wood-associated aphyllophoroid fungi: perspectives on the diversity, ecology and conservation biology of species and their habitats

“…After the publication of the check-lists in 2009, at least 35 species new to Finland have been reported, and abundant biogeographical knowledge has accumulated, especially in regard to corticioids, polypores and clavarioids (e.g. Kunttu et al 2011Kunttu et al , 2012Kunttu et al , 2016aMiettinen et al 2012a,b;Niemelä 2012;Larsson 2013, Kotiranta andShiryaev 2013;Spirin et al 2013a,b;Juutilainen 2016).…”
