MACROHONGOS PRESENTES EN UN ÁREA DE MANEJO RENEGENERATIVO DE BOSQUE DE MATA ATLÁNTICA (MISIONES, ARGENTINA).

Atlantic Forest is an ecosystem historically managed without restrictions. Over the years, this situation led to a fragmentation of the forest environment with the consequent loss of habitats for all kinds of organisms in the region. The present work is a checklist of macrofungi found in a native forest in Oberá (Misiones, Argentina), where conservation and regeneration practices have been held since 2009 to recover its natural state. Sampling took place in different seasons for 3 years. 136 species have been identified, distributed in 13 orders, 32 families and 86 genera. The objective of the present work was to set a precedent of macrofungi diversity in the area. This will allow studying macrofungi ecological succession and their potential as bio-indicators of forest recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
