Primera aproximació a una llista vermella dels fongs d'Andorra

Abstract

The level of threat of 502 fungi from Andorra has been evaluated according to the data obtained from the bibliography and field observations. The information from these works has been compared with the biodiversity databases and the red lists of neighbouring countries. Subsequently, the different taxa were determined with the IUCN methodology in order to assess their level of threat. It has been found that many of the species in the highest threatened categories are part of the mycoflora of the snowbeds, both because of their degree of isolation and the effect of the climate warming. The result of the evaluation of 502 species is: in Critically Endangered (CR) no species has been detected; Endangered (EN) 7 species, which is 1.39% of the total; Vulnerable (VU) 23 (4.58% of the total); Near Threatened (NT) 30 (5.97%). There are 392 species in the category of Least Concern (LC) that are 78.08%. In the category of Data Deficient (DD) and Not Evaluated (NE) there are 44 species (8.76%). Finally, there are 6 species (1.19%), whose presence has not been confirmed.
