Appendix H. Fleshy Fungi (Mushrooms and Related Groups) of San Marcos Foothills A Presumptive Species List Species list compiled by Bob Cummings, Ph.D., Professor of Biology, Santa Barbara City College. This species list was generated from many years of my collection records from habitats in Santa Barbara similar to those occurring on San Marcos Foothills as listed in the document "A Plan for the Preservation and Stewardship of San Marcos Foothills" (2001), (Willow Riparian, Oak Riparian, Chaparral, Oak-Savannah, and Oak Woodland). I have never collected on this property myself. I considered separating the species by habitat but in reality there would be so much overlap in occurrence as to make such distinction confusing if not misleading. Even though certain species are restricted to specific habitats, other species might have several potential hosts and be found in a variety of habitats. For example, Amanita ocreata and Boletus chrysenteron are mycorrhizal with oak, but Agaricus californicus and Armillaria mellea occur in several habitats. The species are grouped taxonomically according to family or order. As a disclaimer, I must say that taxonomy of fungi in general and fungi of southern California in particular is a work in progress and, therefore, incomplete, in flux, and subject to much interpretation. Many species listed below may not reflect with precision their true (and still inscrutable) taxonomic status. It would have been more accurate to list many species as "species complexes", but I thought that perhaps this taxonomic uncertainty would potentially obscure the more important goal of proposing a general presumptive species list of flesh fungi for the San Marcos Foothills property. It should be taken and used as a beginning point. Bob Cummings August 10, 2001 Reference: Arora, David. 1979. Mushrooms Demystified, 2e.
