Abstract:Ecuador es un país Megadiverso en Flora, Fauna y Funga, a más de ecosistemas únicos como el Bosque Petrificado de Puyango. Este bosque no ha sido investigado en cuanto a su diversidad fúngica. En el presente trabajo se registra preliminarmente por primera vez una lista y guía visual rápida de macrohongos principalmente descomponedores de madera para el Bosque Petrificado de Puyango. Los resultados sugieren una gran diversidad de hongos para este bosque, donde 28 observaciones corresponden a 28 morfoespecies. E… Show more
Agaricus subrufescens (Agaricales, Basidiomycota), an edible species with attributed medicinal properties, has been reported from several countries of the world. This study presents the first record for Ecuador, based on morphological and molecular (ITS-5.8S of DNArn) characterization for one wild specimen collected outside the Puyango Petrified Forest (PPF). This information marks the baseline for future research projects in areas such as the Puyango Petrified Forest, declared National Heritage of Ecuador, to valorise neotropical fungi with commercial potential.
