IMC7 Main Congress Theme I: BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION Posters<br />
In Korea about 2000 species <strong>of</strong> mushrooms (higher fungi)<br />
have been studied from basdiomyctes to ascomycetes.<br />
Among them, about 1500 species are constructed in<br />
database. This database contains several items;<br />
taxonomical system, the application, the ecological<br />
resources, the geographical distributions. Each <strong>of</strong><br />
mushrooms is illustrated with descriptions, photographies<br />
and spores. Also, information retrieval system is available<br />
by using KRISTAL II for query searches on the Web in<br />

Several protocols <strong>of</strong> areas <strong>of</strong> endemism methods (Morrone,<br />
1994, Jardine, 1972, Linder 2001) were applied to a<br />
mapped list <strong>of</strong> 220 species <strong>of</strong> selected groups <strong>of</strong><br />
macr<strong>of</strong>ungi (Stipitate hydnoids, polypores, Amanita,<br />
Laccaria, Psilocybe and Scleroderma. Taxa were chosen<br />
both for practical (better known and collected groups) and<br />
ecological(to represent both saprotrophs and biotrophs)<br />
reasons. The best result, lesser fragmented areas, was<br />
obtained with Linder's method <strong>of</strong> inverse weighting.<br />
Though three well defined groups were observed they were<br />
not supported enough to be considered robust. Nevertheless<br />
when these groupings were contrasted with vegetation and<br />
altitudinal levels maps it was found an acceptable non<br />
exact concordance with the last one; one subgroup related<br />
with lower altitudes is accordingly distributed. Contrary to<br />
our findings based on the application <strong>of</strong> parsimony<br />
methods, previous ecological studies in Mexico had shown<br />
a relation <strong>of</strong> macr<strong>of</strong>ungi distribution and vegetation<br />
(Guzmán and Guzmán-Dávalos 1979, Varela and Cifuentes<br />
1979, Heredia 1989) but they were based solely on<br />
similarity list comparisons. Tan & Wu (1986) in China<br />
rather found that macr<strong>of</strong>ungi distribution was highly<br />
correlated with temperature which agrees better with our<br />
results. In spite <strong>of</strong> limitations to the use <strong>of</strong> herbaria data to<br />
apply areas <strong>of</strong> endemism methods, our results support to<br />
certain extent their applicability.<br />
488 - The 609 red listed fungi in Sweden: an analysis <strong>of</strong><br />
their ecological characteristics, distribution and threats<br />

Red lists are extremely important instrument in both<br />
national and international conservation work. The recent<br />
Swedish Red List is based on an evaluation <strong>of</strong> factors that<br />
affect risk <strong>of</strong> extinction, a system to classifying species into<br />
threat categories developed by the World Conservation<br />
Union (IUCN), which is successively replacing the old<br />
systems around the world. The Red List comprises 609<br />
species, <strong>of</strong> which 254 are assessed as threatened, selected<br />
from an assessment <strong>of</strong> the 4620 known Swedish<br />
macromycetes (http://www.artdata.slu.se/home.htm). In<br />
principle, all available knowledge <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> these fungi<br />
have been compiled and analysed; life forms, preferences<br />
<strong>of</strong> habitats and substrates, distribution within and outside<br />
Sweden, and threats. The poster will summarize their<br />
ecological characteristics and identify the major threats.<br />
The red list can be looked upon as a deficiency analysis <strong>of</strong><br />
habitats and substrates. Among the most severe problem is<br />
the large scale on going fragmentation <strong>of</strong> valuable biotopes<br />
like primeval forest with a high amount <strong>of</strong> dead wood <strong>of</strong><br />
appropriate quality and unfertilised grassland. Today, an<br />
alarming number <strong>of</strong> fungal populations survive only in<br />
small number <strong>of</strong> isolated populations. Reference:<br />

Pinus koraiensis is the main coniferous tree in NE China.<br />
The species <strong>of</strong> polypores on wood <strong>of</strong> the tree were<br />
investigated, and 79 species were recognized. Among them<br />
23 species are considered as rare species, 31 are occasional<br />
and 25 are common. 16 species were found only in forest<br />
reserves, 12 in unprotected forests, and 49 in both forest<br />
reserves and unprotected forests. 6 species were found on<br />
dead trees, 28 on fallen trunks, 41 on rotten wood and 4 on<br />
charred wood. 19 species occur on Pinus koraiensis only,<br />
and 60 on other substrates as well.<br />
