Dear colleagues, herein some points that I would like some discussion and, if possible, some answers in regards to global fungal richness estimates:
The question of how many species of Fungi there are has occasioned much speculation, as said Dr. D. Hawksworth and Dr. R. Lücking, but the estimatives, in many cases are too big!
Do we have any estimates of the species richness of all fungi for the neotropical region?
And what is the most up-to-date estimate for fungal species richness globally?
Is it possible to determine how much of this corresponds to soil mycobiota?
How sensitive are the methods of estimating fungal richness?
Attached, some useful papers:
HAWKSWORTH (2012) and HAWKSWORTH & LÜCKING (2017)
Dear Francisco, thank you for the information provided. The attached files may provide you some more information.
