Red Data List #1 – Boletaceae – JNCC Approved

The following forward was written Liz Holden – Grampian Fungus Group

I wanted to flag up the newly published red list of bolete species
that has received official approval from JNCC.

Martyn Ainsworth (RBGKew)and others have been working hard with the criteria
available. The introduction to the list is very well worth reading as it
outlines the problems that we have in determining red list species as well
as the data mining that they have undertaken and the research that they have
utilised to make this happen. When you read this and realise the work
involved, you will understand why they just worked with one group of fungi
initially.
