What Do the First 597 Global Fungal Red List Assessments Tell Us about the Threat Status of Fungi?
Fungal species are not immune to the threats facing animals and plants and are thus also prone to extinction. Yet, until 2015, fungi were nearly absent on the IUCN Red List. Recent efforts to identify fungal species under threat have significantly increased the number of published fungal assessments. The 597...Mueller, Gregory M. ; Cunha, Kelmer Martins ; May, Tom W. ; Allen, Jessica L. ; Westrip, James R. S. …
