Description

Project OverviewThe project aims to investigate species diversity and variety from a citizen science perspective (more of a random character, i.e., not a strictly scientific research character).Project GoalsInvestigate species diversity and variety on a larger scale (>1,000 samples)Give sequences a "face" = metadata such as environmental data, field images, etc.Provide tools for species identificationUse DNA barcoding of the ITS regionBe cost-effectiveBe methodologically feasible from fruiting body to analyzed sequenceDisseminate knowledge about the methodDataset DescriptionThe dataset contains DNA-barcoded samples of fungal fruiting bodies collected in Sweden. The collection has been mostly random and the selection has primarily been based on the collector's own interest. Collectors are mainly amateur mycologists. Barcoding has been performed on the ITS region and parts of the SSU and LSU regions. Additional observational metadata such as coordinates, images, and environmental descriptions are linked to the Swedish Observation System for each respective sample.This dataset was published via the SBDI ASV portal.

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 316 records.

2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

Sampling Methods

The collection of fruiting bodies has been conducted randomly based on the collector's own interest and knowledge. Both known and unknown species to the collector have been gathered. All fruiting bodies have been dried using a mushroom dryer at a maximum of 35 degrees Celsius and then stored dry and dark in paper envelopes or zip bags. Subsequent handling is described in detail in protocol: https://www.protocols.io/view/uppsala-fungal-barcoding-using-ont-dna-extraction-n2bvj3mbblk5/v1

Study Extent Collection of fungi, mainly basidiomycetes, within Sweden and primarily in the Uppland province.
