List of the National Priority Species of Switzerland

A total of 2956 fungal species were evaluated for the list of Switzerland's National Priority Species, 934 of which were classified as priority species. Priorities for species conservation and promotion were determined by experts depending on the current red list status of the species and Switzerland's international responsibility for the species. The publication explains the methodology used and defines the protection priority, as well as Switzerland's responsibility for all the species it contains.
