Larger fungi associated with Betula pubescens in Greenland

Abstract

A list of 102 larger fungi mainly associated with Betula pubescens in Greenland is given.

Species from most of the major taxonomic groups of larger fungi are represented. The species have been classified into a number of broad mycogeographical types. It is concluded that the fungi associated with B. pubescens in the subarctic part of southern Greenland constitute a fairly large group of which 4/5 of the species are mainly distributed in temperate areas and 1/5 in subarctic or arctic areas.
