Fungi (incl. Lichens) of Newport Forest Checklist

Since 2007 Kee Dewdney assisted by visitors to Newport Forest has worked to caterlogue species encountered on the property.  To date the list is at over 1700 species.  The fungi checklist of 210 species is a small subset of the list.

Each entry consists of a common name, scientific name, and a three-part code that reflects the locale in which the species was observed or collected, the name of the collector (lower case initials) concatenated with the name of the identifier (upper case initials), and the date the species was collected or observed.  In cases where the identifier was also the observer/collector, only one name appears. (See the Personnel Codes at end of document.)

Scientific names or portions thereof are placed in square brackets where the identification is  uncertain.  Typically, this device is used when reference materials are incomplete; the name in square brackets reflecting the species in our references that most closely matched the characters of the specimen observed or collected.  It may be assumed that a majority of species so named are named correctly, although assuredly not all of them. The common name is sometimes replaced by a generic name (e.g. Robber fly) when no common name is available or by a made-up common name that is intended to convey an important feature of the species in question or by a letter designation (e.g. sp. A) when a more detailed description is necessary.  The latter sorts of names are enclosed in single quotes.

Where possible, we have included the provincial (NHIC) S-rankings as an indication of the relative abundance or rarity of species at the provincial level.  The rankings range from S1 (rare) to S5 (common).
