Plot-based observations of terrestrial macrofungi in different forest types of boreal zone in West Siberia (2015-2024)

The dataset includes the results of a long-term monitoring program for larger fungi fruiting using permanent plots located in different forest types in central part of Western Siberia (nearby Khanty-Mansiysk). Our goal was to describe the quantitative and qualitative structure and spatial variation of the community of macromycetes, show its dynamics seasonally and inter-annually and also elucidate the relationship between the fruiting and climate variables. A total of 320 circular 5 m^2 (for a total area of 1600 m^2) sub-plots were visited weekly during vegetation seasons 2015-2024 and carpophores of different fungal taxa were counted. The dataset includes about 20K plot-based observations (=sampling events) made from 2015 until 2024 with corresponding about 17K occurrence records of macromycetes identified to species. Each plot was examined 72 times over the course of 10 years. Plot-based observations with zero records mark absence of species in a certain plot and time.
