Pune Alive : Mushroom Diversity 2000

Kingdom Fungi constitutes amongst the most diverse group of organisms, that also exhibit myriad enigmatic shapes, caps and parasols, balls and crumples sheets, layered plats and overlapping shingles, muted and gaudy. These appear suddenly amongst the fallen leaves, on trees or encrusting dead wood, just after the first shower of the monsoon. Despite their popularity, not many people know mushrooms as being fruiting, rather spore producing bodies of some fungi.
Fungi are crucial in the terrestrial ecosystem, as dominant decomposers and have applications in various industries. This dataset is from the “Pune Alive - a directory of Pune biodiversity’ in which documented occurrence records of 64 genera belonging to 31 families of fungi from Pune, Maharashtra, India.

真菌王国构成了最为繁茂的生物群体之一，其形态各异，神秘莫测，如伞盖、球体、褶皱的纸张、层叠的板状物和相互重叠的瓦片，色彩淡雅或鲜艳夺目。它们在落叶之中、树木之上或腐朽的木材表面突然出现，恰在季风雨后的第一时间。尽管真菌广受关注，但鲜为人知的是，蘑菇作为某些真菌的繁殖体，并非果实，而是产孢体。真菌在陆地生态系统中至关重要，作为主导分解者，并在多个行业中有着广泛应用。本数据集源自“浦那生机——浦那生物多样性目录”，其中收录了来自印度马哈拉施特拉邦浦那的64个属、31个科的真菌的记录。
