Abstract
Preliminary progress on the identification of macromycete species associated with different vegetation types at the Cumbres National Park is presented. The results presented here indicate that so far it has been possible to identify 215 species out of more than 1300 species collected so far in the vegetation types of the park. The species are distributed as follows: The mixed oak-pine forests have 190 species followed by the pine forests with 145, the oak forests with 144, the coniferous forests with 101, the thorn scrubs with 93, the riparian forest with 50, the oak chaparral with 48, the grasslands with 16, the microphylic desert scrub with 14 and the rosetophile desert scrub with 9. Of the species studied 95 are mycorrhizal, 106 are saprotrophic and 14 are parasitic either to plants or fruits of another fungus. Many of the species grow in various vegetation types so in the overall count they are repeated. Distribution maps of the species were carried out and some are shown.
