A Checklist of Ectomycorrhizal Mushrooms Associated with Quercus humboldtii in Colombia

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mushrooms, Humans and Nature in a Changing World

Abstract

In Colombia, ectomycorrhizal mushrooms have been collected and documented in several departments and are commonly reported from the native Quercus humboldtii forests. This native species is constrained to the Andean region, occurs within a range of 750–3450 m asl, and establishes mutual symbiotic associations with some fungal genera. In this chapter, we compiled the current state of the art of the ectomycorrhizal mushrooms (ECM) associated with this tropical native oak. We searched reports on the distribution of ectomycorrhizal species associated with Q. humboldtii, and included references where the mycorrhizal status of some fungal genera has been assessed. The family Boletaceae has the highest number of reports, followed by Amanitaceae and Russulaceae. Antioquia has the highest number of reported species, followed by Boyacá and Cundinamarca. Fewer reports are available for the departments of Tolima, Huila, and Quindio, which shows the importance of encouraging studies regarding the taxonomy and recognition of macrofungal diversity, particularly in regions where there is a lack of research in this field. We included 16 local and 2 national records of ECM fungi to the country. Additionally, by searching reports including information on the edibility of wild fungal species, 35 ectomycorrhizal mushrooms are reported as edible to the country.
