This dataset contains data on the distribution of protected fungi from Poland, collected in the book ""Protected Fungi of Poland. Distribution, Threats, Conservation Recommendations"". The book is Poland's first comprehensive and extensive monograph covering all fungal species currently protected in the country. The data on distribution of taxa were gathered from published records (MaterialCitation), experts' observations (HumanObservation), and herbarium specimens deposited in public collections (PreservedSpecimens). In this book, all distribution data were presented in ATMOS square system (10 km by 10 km). In this dataset, the centroid of each square (with coordinate uncertainty in meters to cover whole square) is given as coordinate of specific taxon. The monograph is the result of a project under the auspices of the Polish Mycological Society and produced by team of twenty authors, complies as much information as possible about the 117 species of fungi which are currently under legal protection in Poland.
