Bioindication of the mapping process and census of macromycetes in a protected area

Special Project Mushrooms

Rome, May 25, ISPRA, Via Curtatone 3, 10:00 am

The congress aims to present the results of the researches carried out in recent years at the Natural Reserve of Monte Rufeno, based on the new perspectives offered by the study of macromycetes as indicators of environmental quality.
The development of mycological studies, resulting from ISPRA's "Special Project Mashroom", showed a new face of the work of "mycologist rangers". From a simple searching activity aimed at drafting a checklist of the fungus living in the protected area, to an ecological studying activity aimed at finding out the connections and interactions between fungus and all their abiotic and biotic environment.
