Description

There are 1585 records of the Fungi Kingdom present in the Magallanes Region, compiled from published bibliography such as specialized journals and technical or academic publications. They correspond to 171 taxa of macrofungi and 470 of lichens. When specified in the bibliographic reference, the type of substrate (habitat) in which they grow is described. This compilation is part of the efforts to increase the knowledge on cryptogamic diversity of the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve as proposed by the Cape Horn International Center (CHIC- ANID PIA/BASAL PFB210018). This data set will eventually be supplemented with field records from scientific or community explorations.

Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 1,679 records.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data

The Cape Horn International Center for Global Change Studies and Biocultural Conservation (CHIC) is a scientific research project under the Subantarctic Biocultural Conservation Program, aiming to build upon over 20 years of work. Research at CHIC on the subantarctic diversity of bryophytes, lichens and fungi is conducted by sampling the diversity of bryophytes, lichens and fungi from literature records, as well as field observations and biological collections.

Title Research of subantarctic bryophyte, lichen and fungal diversity in the Cape Horn International Center for Global Change Studies and Biocultural Conservation (CHIC)
Identifier ANID/BASAL FB210018
Funding CHIC is a center of excellence for research funded by the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID).
Study Area Description Magallanes and Chilean Antarctic Region
Design Description Research at CHIC on the diversity of bryophytes, lichens and fungi is conducted by sampling the diversity of bryophytes, lichens and fungi from literature records, as well as field observations and collections. Regarding the collection of specimens in the field, at least one per taxon is expected to be collected. Specimens will be dehydrated and classified for conservation. In the case of fungi, carpophores as well as soil samples associated with the rhizosphere of the trees, to mitigate the impact of the collections, the condition of the microsite where they are extracted is restored, whether soil, trunk or bark of fallen or standing trees, so that the site cannot be visually detected after the collection work.

Sampling Methods

To build up the database, we compiled and systematized the records published in both specialized journals as well as in divulgative publications and technical reports by experienced scientists on regional biodiversity.

Study Extent All records of macrofungi and lichens occurring in the subantarctic region of Magallanes, Chile, are reported.
Quality Control The taxonomic nomenclature used has been updated according to MycoBank (available at https://www.mycobank.org/). Geographic coordinates have been systematized from what was reported by the authors of the publications; when they were not available but the locality was mentioned, these have been approximated using Google Earth; in both cases the coordinates have been validated using the GBIF tool.

Method step description:

  1. First, an exhaustive review of the literature related to the diversity of macrofungi and lichens in the Aysén region of Chile was carried out using scientific content search engines such as Web of Science® and Google Scholar. The information resulting from this review was systematized in the form of records according to the DarwinCore standard.

Purpose

The purpose of publishing the datasets of bryophyte, lichen and fungi species diversity is to facilitate access to knowledge about biodiversity in the sub-Antarctic Chile and to encourage citizen participation in its generation.

Maintenance Description The team in charge of this CHIC project will keep this dataset updated, incorporating new publications with records in the sub-Antarctic Magellan territory. Eventually this dataset will be complemented with the observations of citizens associated to the Geoportal Ciencia Austral.
