Mushrooms that have been sighted in Arizona (research grade observations) but lack or have few supporting DNA sequences or vouchered specimens in an herbarium. This list is intended to serve as a personal "bounty board" of mushrooms that need to be collected, vouchered, and sequenced in order to further our collective understanding of Arizona's diverse mycoflora and their importance in our unique ecosystems. Each entry is accompanied by the known habitat and the season(s) when the species was previously spotted. This is primarily a personal list, but if you have found any of these and have a preserved collection, please contact me!

Last vouchered from Arizona by J. Page Lindsey in the 1980's in Bear Wallow. No DNA sequences available in GenBank. Found in mixed pine, oak, cypress habitat growing on fallen hardwood logs around ... עוד
-
Seldom observed due to its small size, I suspect there is a diverse population of this genus in Arizona that is still being uncovered
-
Common in Arizona in a variety of habitats, however, the diversity is overlooked and deserves further study.
-
Seldom seen in Arizona though apparently common in the Chiricahua mountains in low elevation oak habitats
-
Found in the fall in Ponderosa-dominated mixed conifer/oak forest around 7,500ft.
-
Found in a burn area in mixed pine forest near the summit of Mt. Lemmon ~9,000ft.
-
Found growing in a creek in conifer dominated forest, Marshall Gulch, Mt. Lemmon ~8,500ft.
-
A seldom seen genus with two confirmed species (X. polymorpha, hypoxylon) in Arizona, this occurs during the summer in pine dominated forest around 9,000ft.
