THE ENDEMIC FUNGI OF MALTA
Relatively little is known about the mycoflora of the Maltese Islands and a complete list of species growing on the Maltese islands has yet to be compiled. Even less known is the correct systematics of the various fungi recorded in the Islands. For convenience, the fungi are sub-divided into MACROFUNGI (ie those species with relatively large fleshy sporocarps or mushrooms) and the MICROFUNGI (ie those with minute reproductive structures). The former are characterised by three endemic species, while all the described species of Microfungi (a total of 131 species/forms mostly described by P.A. Saccardo) have been considered endemic forms. The true status of these species still needs to be establish and are not listed herein.
