Contribution to the knowledge of the mycological flora of the Pigelleto Nature Reserve, Mt. Amiata (Italy)
The Pigelleto Nature Reserve, situated to the south-east of Mt. Amiata (Tuscany, Italy), is characterized by a relict nucleus of Abies alba Mill. at low altitude, which is probably an autochthonous ecotype. The mycoflora list reported here is the result of past studies and observations carried out during 2005-2006. Among the species of macrofungi accounted for (426, belonging to 144 genera), 158 entities were collected for the first time during this recent study.
