DEB-9971210CrippsThis project is designed to document the diversity of fleshy fungi (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) in the alpine tundra zone of the Rocky Mountains, and will be the first survey of arctic-alpine mushrooms in North America outside of Alaska. The Agaricales are a diverse group of fungi, with an estimated 80,000 species world wide. They are ecologically important in terms of mycorrhizal associations and nutrient recycling. While the abundant diversity of arctic-alpine fungi is well-documented for the Alps, Scandinavia, and many parts of the Arctic, the alpine fungi of the whole Rocky Mountain cordillara remain largely unknown. This survey will help close the gap on circumboreal distributions, contribute new species, and provide collections for future evolutionary, ecological, and physiological studies of alpine fungi.

该项目旨在记录落基山脉高山冻土带肉质真菌（Agaricales，担子菌科）的多样性，并将成为阿拉斯加以外北美地区第一次对北极高山蘑菇的调查。Agaricales是一种多样化的真菌，全世界估计有8万种。它们在菌根结合和养分循环方面具有重要的生态意义。虽然在阿尔卑斯山脉、斯堪的纳维亚半岛和北极的许多地方都有丰富多样的北极高山真菌，但整个落基山脉科迪拉拉的高山真菌在很大程度上仍然未知。这项调查将有助于缩小高山真菌在环缘分布上的差距，提供新的物种，并为今后高山真菌的进化、生态和生理研究提供资料。
