MACROFUNGI
OF THE MIDDLE CAQUETÁ REGION – COLOMBIA

Ana Esperanza Franco-Molano, Aída Marcela Vasco-Palacios, Carlos Alberto López-Quintero & Teun Boekhout

Language: Spanish

"In Colombia, studies on macrofungi are scarce, and of the few that exist generaly emphasiseon taxonomic aspects, without highlighting importance and meaning of these organisms to the human groups in their surrounding; moreover, they generally do not indicate their role in the ecological context, resulting in a simple contribution to the cathalogs.
Such limitation justifies the value of this work as a valuable contribution the knowledge of biodiversity and importance of macrofungi in our field. Besides presenting taxonomic information of 96 species in this area of the Amazonia, the authors highlight their ethnic importance and care to be taken due to toxic or poisonous properties of some of them; this aims to a better knowledge and understanding of the relationship between this organisms, the environment and the communities in which sourroundings they grow". Fragment of the prologue by Ramiro Fonnegra Gómez, Dr. Cs. chief of the Herbarium section. Universidad de Antioquia. Translation F. Arbeláez.
