  1. Mapping Scotland’s Fungi Recorder’s Conference 2012 Neville Kilkenny

  2. Introduction: • Problems associated with recording and mapping Scotland’s fungi • Fruiting patterns & ‘The Species Accumulation Curve’ • Identification - most fungi difficult and require microscopy as well as an expensive library • Capacity lacking at professional level of expertise • Literature- no definitive Funga Scotica • Recording fields – Substrate & Associated Organism • Authority by which species are identified • Locality • Where to submit records to (duplication)
