Fungal records database of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra

Abstract

The mycological research in the Northern part of Western Siberia becomes quite developed by now to be reviewed, in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra reaching about 150 scientific works accomplished mainly from the second half of XXI century. There is even greater need in accumulating fungal records reported from different publications in a standardized regional database. This database should be organized according to contemporary demands of biodiversity informatics, to be compatible and accessible by other researchers. Organized in 2016, the Fungal Records Database of Yugra, presently contains about 14000 records of 2500 species of fungi and fungi-like organisms recorded in the area. This paper describes the database organization and accumulated fungal records and introduces the research conducted in the field of mycology in Yugra from the beginning of the XX century up to present.

Fungal literature records database of the Northern West Siberia (Russia)

“…The species occurrence records were filled in by the collective effort of specialists working in the area. The first published version of the database was dedicated solely to the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra in its administrative borders ( Filippova and Bulyonkova 2018 ). Additional literature was added later to cover the whole Northern West Siberia (including two administrative regions: Yugra and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug) and the database was re-named accordingly ( Filippova et al 2020 ).…”
