Larger Arctic-Alpine Fungi in Scotland

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Environmental Science Research ((ESRH,volume 34))

Abstract

The larger Arctic-alpine fungi found in the islands and highlands of Scotland are considered and their distribution even at sea-level discussed in relation to climate, geology, soil and vegetation. Particular attention is paid to the distribution of Amanita nivalis, Russula spp. and Laccaria spp. , and Omphalina alpina and hudsoniana; Inocybe spp. , and Cortinarius spp. Larger ascomycetes and other basidiomycetes are briefly considered.
