ABSTRACT: The goal of this paper is to integrate and update the first edition of the checklist of Ligurian macrofungi with data resulting from mycological research conducted mainly in holm-oak woods during the past last three years. Of the 172 new taxa collected, 15 represent Ascomycota, 157 represent Basidiomycota; 12 taxa are recorded for the first time from Italy and many others are considered rare or infrequent. Each taxonomic entry includes Latin name, author, habitat, height, and WGS-84 Global Position System (GPS) coordinates. This work, together with the original Ligurian checklist, represents a contribution to the national checklist.

The complete checklist can be found on the Mycotaxon Regional Checklists page.
