Abstract

Field surveys at Kings Park since 2009 and at Bold Park since 1999 yielded a total of 532 fungi (mainly macrofungi) and 28 slime moulds. Morphological studies and DNA sequence analyses of vouchered specimens from the surveys enabled 460 of the fungi and 25 of the slime moulds to be identified to species level, assigned species phrase names or designated “sp.” with an accompanying brief macroscopic descriptor. Many of the species were previously not known to occur in the parks or in the greater Perth region, and some of the fungi had not previously been recorded in Australia and/or Western Australia. At least 19 fungi assigned with phrase names are considered to represent species new to science (rationale briefly outlined herein for those). Only 31% of the fungi, and 36% of the slime moulds, have been verified as occurring at both parks.
