Grassland Fungi Diversity in a Norwegian University Park with DNA Sequence Data

Molecular sequence data and associated files from a 2023 survey of grassland fungi in a university park in south-western Norway. The dataset documents 24 species, including eight on the Norwegian red list and the first Norwegian record of Entoloma daegae. It was authored by Mathias Andreasen and published on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Conducting phylogenetic analysis based on the provided molecular sequence files (FASTA, NEX).
• Studying fungal biodiversity and species richness in managed grassland habitats.
• Verifying and mapping the distribution of red-listed fungal species in Norway.
• Comparing the newly recorded Entoloma daegae sequence with other global genetic samples.

Strengths

• Includes molecular sequence files (FASTA, NEX) for species identification.
• Documents a specific, novel finding: the first Norwegian record of Entoloma daegae.
• Lists a concrete count of 24 species found, with eight being red-listed.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The dataset's 235.6 KB size indicates a very limited scope, likely covering a single survey location.
