The recent realistic estimate of fungal numbers which used various algorithms was between
2.2 and 3.8 million. There are nearly 100,000 accepted species of Fungi and fungus-like …

Fungi represent one of the most diverse groups of organisms on the planet, with an essential
role in ecosystem processes and functioning. The numbers of fungi have always been an …

Fungi play vital roles in ecosystems as endophytes, pathogens and saprobes. The current
estimate of fungal diversity is highly uncertain, ranging from 1.5 to 12 million, but only …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated using several different approaches. There is
somewhere between 2–11 million estimated species, but the number of formally described …

Attempts to assess fungal global species richness are confounded by several problems:
uncertainty about the number of described species, incomplete fungal inventories even at a …

Although fungi are among the most important organisms in the world, only limited and
incomplete information is currently available for most species and current estimates of …

We conservatively estimate that there is a minimum of 712,000 extant fungal species
worldwide, but we recognize that the actual species richness is likely much higher. This …

Recent estimates of the global species numbers of fungi suggest that the much-used figure
of 1.5 million is low, and figures up to 5.1 million have been proposed in the last few years …

Data on macrofungal diversity and distribution patterns were compiled for major
geographical regions of the world. Macrofungi are defined here to include ascomycetes and …

The question of how many species of Fungi there are has occasioned much speculation,
with figures mostly posited from around half a million to 10 million, and in one extreme case …
