Abstract

A checklist of 868 taxa of basidiomycetes from Greenland is presented including 847 species, 1 subspecies, 12 varieties and 8 forms. Of these, 172 taxa are reported for the first time from Greenland, not including the species reported as new to  Greenland in other papers in these proceedings.

The list is based on records from the 120 references listed below, including original information on Greenland basidiomycetes, and on material in different herbaria, mainly the approximately 8.000 collections in the Botanical Museum in Copenhagen. The list serves as the base for a forthcoming funga.

The new combination Hemimycena albicolor (A. H. Sm.) Elborne is proposed.
