https://gmsmushrooms.org/: A Comprehensive Online Database of Mushrooms in the Greater Mekong Sub Region

Abstract

The Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) is a global biodiversity hotspot and habitat for many ecologically and economically important mushrooms species. The diversity of mushrooms in the GMS has been studied and published in different journals, and many have been documented from different countries in the GMS region but data remain mostly fragmented. A comprehensive website, https://gmsmushrooms.org/, was established to update the taxonomy, illustrations, descriptions and other useful information for mushroom species reported from the GMS into a single platform. The website is managed by expert mycologists who regularly update information as new macrofungi are introduced from the GMS.
