This dataset provides distribution data of fungi in Switzerland of the National Data and Information Centre, called SwissFungi. SwissFungi is a partner of InfoSpecies, the network of Swiss data and information centers for fauna, flora and fungi. One of its main objectives is to document the spatial and temporal distribution of fungal species in Switzerland.
The SwissFungi database currently contains more than 700'000 georeferenced fungi observations, distributed throughout Switzerland. The oldest observations date back to 1770. A large portion of the records date from 1990 until the present day. The database is continuously updated with new fungi records. The data have been validated and originate from national inventories, from research projects, from floristic observations by volunteers as well as from private and public herbaria and from literature. Please note that SwissFungi is not able to verify all incoming fungal records completely concerning correct identification or coordinate errors and therefore cannot guarantee the validity of the information.
