Hongos macroscópicos en un bosque de niebla intervenido, vereda Chicoral, Valle del Cauca, Colombia

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diversity of macroscopic fungi in forest intervened at Bitaco Forest Reserve, Vereda Chicoral, Valle del Cauca (Colombia). Monthly collections were made for six months in three vegetable toppings types: pasture, very disturbed secondary forest and riparian forest. We collected 334 specimens, corresponding to 112 morphospecies of fungi included in 63 genera and 41 families. Of these fungi, 31 were Ascomycota and 80 Basidiomycota. The greatest wealth corresponded to the genera Mycena and Xylaria with 12 species, followed by Marasmius with nine species, while 54 genera showed only one specie. Of all the species found, 31 are new records for the Valle del Cauca. On the other hand, species Chromocyphella muscicola, Crepidotus brunswickianus, Favolaschia cinnabarina, Favolaschia dealbata, Hygrocybe chlorophana, Hygrocybe earlei and Hygrocybe cf. trojan, are reported for the first time to Colombia.
