The dataset representing a compilation of species lists from published literature on fungal diversity of peatlands globally. Totally 127 literature sources were found, digitized and information on fungal occurrences was extracted in the dataset. About 20% of the published works used cultivation technique (summing in about 1000 records in the dataset), while 80% represent direct observation of fruiting structures of larger fungi or micro-fungi (totally about 4700 records in the dataset). The table has 15 fields, including scientificName, habitat (vegetation type), occurrenceRemarks (substrate or other field notes), bibliographicCitation, eventDate, country, and locality. The taxonomic structure of fungal diversity represented by the dataset (after synonimization using GBIF species matching tool) includes 3 kingdoms (Fungi, Chromista, Protozoa), 7 phyla, 27 classes, 87 orders, 239 families, 616 genera and about 1500 species. The larger fungi represent about 80% of occurrences and 1100 species, while microfungi only about 400 species.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
The purpose of the dataset is to integrate the literature data on fungal diversity in peatlands globally.Sampling
We created a bibliography list, analysed the publications, extracted occurrence records of fungi with related country, habitat, substrate, date and locality (when accessible), verified taxonomy by GBIF Species Matching tool and published the resulted dataset.Method steps
- Bibliography search
- About half of publications were already integrated by Thormann, Rice (2007), we digitized these records
- Other related publications which weren't included in compilation by Thormann and Rice were added. The total list of digitized publications includes 116 published works.
- We used three obligate fields: scientificName, Country, and eventDate, while others were filled in when possible (habitat (vegetation type), occurrenceRemarks (substrate), locality, and others).
- The original scientific names were verified according to GBIF backbone using GBIF species matching tool, all original names were left in verbatimScientificName field
