BASIDIOMYCOTA
N.W. Legon & A. Henrici
with A.M. Ainsworth, P.J. Roberts, B.M. Spooner & R. Watling
database designed by J.A. Cooper and supported by P.M. Kirk
This searchable database provides information on all species of the fungal phylum Basidiomycota (including mushrooms and toadstools, bracket fungi, puffballs, earthstars and stinkhorns, club and coral fungi, tooth fungi, jelly fungi, rusts and smuts) recorded in the British Isles.

It is based on the original database used to create the book version of the checklist published in 2005, and includes all subsequent updates (see Latest update link opposite). Please email Paul Kirk if any errors or inconsistencies are found.
