The genera Galerìna and Phaeogalera (Basidiomycetes, Agaricales) on the Faroe Islands

The diversity of the genera Galerìna and Phaeogalera on the Faroe Islands is recorded. Eighteen species are recognised, twelve of which are here reported for the first time on the archipelago. A key to the species is provided. A certain affinity is shown to the arctic‐alpine Galerìna flora, especial...

Description
Summary:The diversity of the genera Galerìna and Phaeogalera on the Faroe Islands is recorded. Eighteen species are recognised, twelve of which are here reported for the first time on the archipelago. A key to the species is provided. A certain affinity is shown to the arctic‐alpine Galerìna flora, especially by species occurring at higher altitudes on the Faroes. All the Faroese species grow on the North American continent as well, and many probably have a circumglobal distribution in the Northern Hemisphere. Some occur also on the Southern Hemisphere, some as far south as in Subantarctic‐Antarctic regions. Naucoria macrospora J. E. Lange var. borealis F. H. Møller is synonymized with G. pseudotundrae Kühner.
