This dataset is the checklist of higher fungi (macromycetes / Mushrooms) and lichenized fungi (Lichens) of the Far Eastern Himalayas (HI-LIFE) and the surroundings. Systematic searches were carried out searching both peer-reviewed and grey literature from bibliographical databases, organizational websites and internet search engines in English, Chinese, Hindi and Burmese. It also includes the information about their bibliographic citations and links of their publications to dig deep on the species. Provided dataset will serve as the foundation of mycological knowledge of HI-LIFE landscape highlighting their availability and prospects at different localities with every ancillary detail.Sampling Description
