Description
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 800'000 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.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 876,994 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
