A total of 256 fungal taxa were identified. Species of Marasmius, Polyporus, Trametes, Crepidotus, Pleurotus, and Schizophyllum were found in every Park. Although there were similarities among Parks, each was unique. Prince William Forest Park had the greatest macrofungal diversity (148 taxa) and abundance of fruiting bodies (344 collected). Catoctin Mountain Park was nearly as rich (116 taxa from 329 collections). Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park and Antietam National Battlefield were rich in Schizophyllum and Marasmius, but included fewer fungal taxa overall (54 from 126 collections and 53 from 105 collections, respectively). To document the occurrence of macro fungi in four parks in the National Capital Region Data was collected within defined plots as well as during forays or walking routes through a portion of the park. Each park had two plots established and foray routes were sampled twice for each park. Plot data primarily came from inside the plot but data was collected while navigating to the plot in which case that record was recorded as being collected outside the plot.20050815 20070930 ground condition Complete None Planned -78.78 -76.76 39.70 38.54 National Park Service Theme Category Thesaurus Resource Management ISO 19115 Topic Categoryenvironment biota Fungi Macrofungi Mushrooms Inventory Slime Molds National Park System Unit Code Thesaurus ANTI CATO CHOH PRWI NCRN National Capital Region National Park System Unit Code ThesaurusANTICATOCHOHPRWINCRN National Park System Unit Name ThesaurusAntietam National BattlefieldCatoctin Mountain ParkChesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical ParkPrince William Forest ParkNational Capital Region Network Network National Park Service Theme Category ThesaurusBiologyResource ManagementNone None Geoffrey M.
