Abstract

Context

Although fungi are an integral part of the environment, little is known about the diversity of macrofungi in the south-coast region of Western Australia.

Aims

We summarise the results of macrofungi surveys conducted over the past four decades and highlight some of the rare and interesting taxa from the Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve.

Methods

We used herbarium records, Fungimap observations, and the results of several surveys (1991–1992, 1998–1999, 2006–2007, 2020), to compile a list of the macrofungi found in different locations and major habitats in the Reserve. Names have been updated to reflect modern taxonomic knowledge/classifications.

Key results

A total of 196 formally named species of macrofungi representing 144 genera from 58 families are reported. Ten species have been described based on material collected in the Reserve. The Inocybaceae (56 collections, 25 species) and Amanitaceae (149 collections, 20 species) were the most diverse families due to significant recent taxonomic work. The diversity in Cortinariaceae, Russulaceae, Boletaceae, and Entolomataceae was under-represented. The rare green Amanita austroviridis, and hypogeal Elaphomyces chlorocarpus and E. symeae are known from fewer than six herbarium records, most from the Reserve.

Conclusions

Due to the cryptic nature of many sporocarps and highly seasonal fruiting patterns, we believe the list provided here is perhaps 40% of the actual diversity present in the Reserve.

Implications

The presence of rare species, and high number of undescribed, but likely novel species in diverse lineages, supports the need for further investigation of the macrofungal diversity in the Reserve.

Keywords: Amanitaceae, diversity, endemism, fungal survey, Inocybaceae, mycophagy, rare, Russulaceae, sequestrate fungi, taxonomy, truffle-like.
