IMA Fungus · volume 1 · no 2: 123–142 The history, fungal biodiversity, conservation, and future perspectives for mycology in Egypt Ahmed M. Abdel-Azeem ARTICLE Botany Department, Faculty of Science, University of Suez Canal, Ismailia 41522, Egypt; e-mail: zemo3000@yahoo.com Abstract: Records of Egyptian fungi, including lichenized fungi, are scattered through a wide array of journals, books, and dissertations, but preliminary annotated checklists and compilations are not all readily available. This review documents the known available sources and compiles data for more than 197 years of Egyptian mycology. Species richness is analysed numerically with respect to the systematic position and ecology. Values of relative species richness of different systematic and ecological groups in Egypt compared to values of the same groups worldwide, show that our knowledge of Egyptian fungi is fragmentary, especially for certain systematic and ecological groups such as Agaricales, Glomeromycota, and lichenized, nematode-trapping, entomopathogenic, marine, aquatic and coprophilous fungi, and also yeasts. Certain groups have never been studied in Egypt, such as Trichomycetes and black yeasts. By screening available sources of information, it was possible to delineate 2281 taxa belonging to 755 genera of fungi, including 57 myxomycete species as known from Egypt. Only 105 taxa new to science have been described from Egypt, one belonging to Chytridiomycota, 47 to Ascomycota, 55 to anamorphic fungi and one to Basidiomycota.

INTRODUCTION Biological diversity (biodiversity) encompasses the variety of life forms occurring in nature, from the ecosystem to the genetic level, as a result of evolutionary history (Wilson 1992). The idea that fungi form a kingdom distinct from plants and animals gradually became accepted only after Whittaker (1969). Presently, the “fungi” as a mega-diverse group span three kingdoms, most belonging to the Fungi (Eumycota), while others are classified in the Protozoa and Chromista (Straminipila) (Cavalier-Smith 1998, James et al. 2006b). The word “fungi”, lower case and not in italics, is commonly used as a collective term for organisms traditionally studied by mycologists from all three kingdoms (Hawksworth 1991). The myxomycetes have also been traditionally studied by mycologists (Everhart & Keller 2008, Rojas & Stephenson 2008), and are included here. Estimates for the number of fungi in the world range up to ca. 13.5 M species (McNeely et al. 1990, Hawksworth 1991, 2001, Hawksworth & Kalin-Arroyo 1995, Hyde 1996, Hyde et al. 1997, Tangley 1997, Groombridge & Jenkins 2002, Brusca & Brusca 2003, Rossman 2003, Crous et al. 2006, Adl et al. 2007, Kirk et al. 2008). It might be expected that the predicted numbers of fungi on Earth would have been considerably greater than the 1.5 M suggested by Hawksworth (1991), which is currently accepted as a working figure although recognized as conservative (Hawksworth 2001). The 10 th edition of Ainsworth & Bisby’s Dictionary of the Fungi (Kirk et al. 2008) provided a total of 98 998 for the number of fungal species accepted to date (excluding taxa treated under Chromista and Protozoa). Kirk et al. (2008) reported 1 039 species chromistan fungal analogues and 1 165 as protozoan in which 1 038 are regarded as protozoan fungal analogues: Percolozoa (Acrasida), Amoebozoa (Dictyostelia, Myxogastria, Protostelia), Cercozoa (Plasmodiophorida) which were previously treated as Myxomycota and Plasmodiophoromycota. Egypt’s geographical position at the junction between two large continents (Africa and Asia), and its inclusion as part of the Mediterranean basin, has indelibly influenced both the people and the biota of the country socially, economically and biologically. Egypt is part of the Sahara of North Africa, it has an area of about 1 M km 2 , divided by the River Nile into a western part including the Libyan Desert (681 000 km 2 ) and an eastern part comprising the Eastern Desert (223 000 km 2 ), and the Sinai Peninsula (61 000 km 2 ). The Nile basin, comprising the valley in the south (Upper Egypt) and Nile delta in the north (Lower Egypt), forms a riparian oasis (40 000 km 2 ) that constitutes the densely inhabited farmlands of Egypt. © 2010 International Mycological Association You are free to share - to copy, distribute and transmit the work, under the following conditions: Attribution: You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).
