ESQUEDA, Martín et al. Distribution of some gasteroid fungi (Agaricomycetes) in the central plains of the Sonoran Desert. Rev. Mex. Mic [online]. 2012, vol.36, pp.1-8. ISSN 0187-3180.

In this research 32 species of gasteroid fungi (Agaricomycetes) of 10 locations in the central plains of the Sonoran Desert during the four seasons in three types of vegetation were studied. The orders included are: Agaricales: (26 spp.) and Geastrales (6 spp.). Tulostoma, Geastrum and Disciseda were the genera well represented. New records for Mexico are: Geastrum mammosum and Tulostoma subsquamosum. The highest number of species was observed in winter (26) and spring (13). The greatest diversity was recorded in microphyllous desert scrub (26 spp.), followed by sarcocaule scrub (21) and mezquital (17).

Keywords : Tulostoma; Geastrum; taxonomy; chorology.
