Agaricales is the largest order within the class Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota, Fungi). Most genera have a gilled (lamellate) basidiomata, though gasteroid, secotioid and cyphelloid fruit bodies also occur in several families and genera. Although gilled Agaricales (usually called "agarics") are the most investigated part of the Fungi, the last summary of their diversity in Ukraine was published back in 1996 and needs to be updated. Only several families have undergone an in-depth review over the last 30 years. Most of the data on species occurrences distributed throughout Ukraine are only partially digitised, under-represented on the Web and published primarily in Ukrainian sources.
Here, we provide the list of the 1201 scientific names of gilled Agaricales (species and infraspecific taxon ranks) ever reported from the territory of Ukraine, based on the more than 300 sources published from 1900 to 2021, as well as digitised collection specimens from three mycological collections. For each taxon mentioned in the checklist, we provide references to either known collection specimens or published sources, where researchers can find more information about the records – 8797 records in total.

Agaricales is the largest order within the class Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota, Fungi). Most genera have a gilled (lamellate) basidiomata, though gasteroid, secotioid and cyphelloid types of fruit bodies also occur in several families and genera.
Gilled Agaricales have attracted the attention of mycologists studying fungal diversity in the current territory of Ukraine since the 19th century. However, the first attempt to compile the checklist for its representatives known from the territory of Ukraine was published back in 1979 in the "Handbook of Fungi of Ukraine" (
In the 1980s, "Flora Fungorum Ucrainicae" was launched, aimed to provide critical revisions for the major groups of Ukrainian fungi, with references to particular records. To date, three volumes covering gilled Agaricales have been published, devoted to Agaricaceae (
Here, we provide the list of the 1201 scientific names of gilled Agaricales reported from the territory of Ukraine (species and infraspecific taxa), based on more than 300 sources published from 1900 to 2021, as well as digitised collection specimens from three mycological collections. For each taxon mentioned in the checklist, we provide references to either known collection specimens or published sources, where researchers can find more information about the records – 8797 records in total. Data were published as a "checklist with occurrences" dataset (
Northern Eurasia 2022
Data for this checklist comprise references from 345 published sources issued from 1900 to 2021. We also incorporated information on digitised collection specimens from three mycological collections – the mycological part of the Herbarium of M.G. Kholodny Institute of Botany of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv (KW-M), the mycological part of the Herbarium of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, Kharkiv (CWU(MYC)) and the mycological collection of Halych National Nature Park, Halych (VM(MYC)) – totalling 5371 specimens. Specimens and references were included based on the following criteria:
The largest source of the data was the specimens and literature references available through the online database "Fungi of Ukraine" (
For georeferenced records from the "Fungi of Ukraine" database, we converted geographic coordinates provided by the source into a decimal format using the formula "degree + minutes/60 + seconds/3600". Since we have no information about georeferencing protocol which has been used during the data preparation, we left terms describing georeference and coordinate uncertainty empty. Records derived from the recent sources were georeferenced by the authors of the dataset either manually from maps or obtained from GPS coordinates when available. Coordinate uncertainty values were calculated following DarwinCore recommendations and Georeference best practices (
To make a list of taxa, we harmonised scientific names, provided by the authors of corresponding publications and/or specimens. In the first step, we matched our list of names with the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy (
Since the primary purpose of this checklist is to provide researchers with the most comprehensive list of the scientific names of gilled Agaricales reported from the territory of Ukraine, we did not make a deep taxonomical revision of the data. That is why synonyms or even ambiguous scientific names might be present. For each taxon mentioned in the checklist, we provide references to either known collection specimens or published sources, where researchers can find more information about the records. We used GBIF species matching tool to find possible typos in scientific names. We also used Index Fungorum nomenclatural database (

Order Agaricales (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes, Fungi), excluding families Clavariaceae, Cyphellaceae, Fistulinaceae, Niaceae, Phelloriniaceae, Pterulaceae, Schizophyllaceae, Stephanosporaceae and Typhulaceae, as well as genera Lycoperdon, Calvatia, Disciseda and other genera comprising taxa with gasteroids, secotioids and cyphelloids fruit bodies. In total, there were 1201 species and infraspecific taxa names belonging to the 23 families and 172 genera of Agaricales (Fig.
Taxonomic structure of gilled Agaricales reported from Ukraine. The area of rectangles corresponds with the relative number of species and infraspecific taxa within a particular family. The richest families were Tricholomataceae (136 species and infraspecific taxa), Agaricaceae (130 taxa), Cortinariaceae and Psathyrellaceae (each included 104 taxa) and Inocybaceae (96 species and infraspecific names). Families Hydnangiaceae, Tubariaceae, Porotheleaceae and Clavariaceae included fewer than ten species each and were not labelled in the Figure.

The data part of the Darwin Core Archive includes two tabulation-delimited tables, linked by the values in "taxonID" field:
Column label | Column description |
---|---|
taxonID (Darwin Core Taxon, Darwin Core Occurrence Extension) | Unique identifier of each taxon (species, forma or varietas) listed in the Taxon Core. Type form/varietas treated as species. |
scientificName (Darwin Core Taxon) | Binary name of the species (genus + specific epithet), forma or varietas (genus + specific epithet + infraspecific epithet). |
higherClassification (Darwin Core Taxon) | Concatenated list of hig.her taxa, from kingdom to genus. |
kingdom (Darwin Core Taxon) | The full scientific name of the kingdom in which the taxon is classified. |
phylum (Darwin Core Taxon) | The full scientific name of the phylum in which the taxon is classified. |
class (Darwin Core Taxon) | The full scientific name of the class in which the taxon is classified. |

eventDate (Darwin Core Occurrence Extension) | The full date of the Occurrence according to the Darwin Core date format recommendations. Many sources we used did not contain precise information about the date of each Occurrence, only the overall research time-window. Since intervals cannot be reduced to any particular date, GBIF.org automatically downscales such intervals to the 1st Jan of the first Year of the time-window, which may be misleading for the people referenced directly to the GBIF.org portal. Please download our data as DarwinCore archive, which contains dates as we put them. Any user’s download of those data, including search query results, will return true dates. Moreover, GBIF.org displays full information from all the fields for each record by clicking on it (example occurrence: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/3986574311). |
eventRemarks (Darwin Core Occurrence Extension) | Information on how the verbatimEventDate was obtained: “date from annotation” for cases when it was possible to derive a date or date range for each Occurrence or “date from a year of publication” for cases when it was not possible. Left blank for occurrences derived from the sources that only mentioned the presence of some taxa and did not provide any information about when they were recorded. |
recordedBy (Darwin Core Occurrence Extension) | A person or group of people who were explicitly stated as the authors of the Occurrence at the data source. |
