“…Basidiospores germinated easily, and a tetrapolar mating system was reported (Petersen 1992b). Later, the same fungus, although larger and more colorful and luxuriant, was collected in Tasmania, and Antipodal populations were found to be sexually intercompatible: a single biological species was involved, although with considerable morphological variation (Petersen and McCleneghan 1995). Still later, P. longinqua was found along the coast of Chile, and fi nally collections were made on the Olympic Peninsula of western North America.…”

The Pacifi c Ocean and the "Pacifi c Rim" include a vast geographic area and most categories of the earth's ecological niches. As could be expected, macrofungi conform to many distribution patterns, some of which are discussed in this article. An introduction to species concepts and some other ancillary methodological considerations is followed by examples of some distributional patterns: Gondwanan, Transberingian, and island biogeographic. Some considerations of changing distributional patterns are also discussed: widening distributions, probable human mediation, and some unique cases that seem not to conform to accepted patterns. Not surprisingly, we conclude that concerted future collecting and comparison of specimens using multiple methodologies offer the only hope for understanding mushroom distributions, regardless of the geographic area of interest.
