Diversity of marasmioid fungi in the mountain cloud forests of Eastern Mexico
Project summary:
Marasmioid fungi present in Mexican mountain cloud forests, are species with several ecological functions and complex interactions. This project proposes to collect fresh basidiomes and study the poorly documented diversity of Marasmioid fungi present in Mexican Mountain cloud forests and compare new collections with type specimens inserted in several herbaria.
