Resumo(s)
Human activities are allowing the ever-increasing dispersal of taxa to beyond their native
ranges. Understanding the patterns and implications of these distributional changes
requires comprehensive information on the geography of introduced species. Current
knowledge about the alien distribution of macrofungi is limited taxonomically and
temporally, which severely hinders the study of human-mediated distribution changes for
this taxonomic group. Here, we present a database on the global alien distribution of macrofungi species. Data
on the distribution of alien macrofungi were searched in a large number of data sources,
including scientific publications, grey literature and online databases. The database
compiled includes 1966 records (i.e. species x region combinations) representing 2 phyla,
7 classes, 22 orders, 82 families, 207 genera, 648 species and 31 varieties, forms or
subspecies. Dates of introduction records range from 1753 to 2018. Each record includes
the location where the alien taxon was identified and, when available, the date of first
observation, the host taxa or other important information. This database is a major step
forward to the understanding of human-mediated changes in the distribution of
macrofungal taxa
