Abstract

A taxonomic list of the non-lichenised fungi recorded for Fair Isle is given. The total comprises 260 taxa: 251 verified species and 9 additional intraspecific variants. Several other entities remain provisional until fresh material is available. The list is annotated with summary details of abundance, distribution, habitat, phenology and, for notable species, their wider status within Britain. Four species are new citations for the British Isles. The list demonstrates the island’s regional, national, international and conservation importance, particularly for grassland taxa and montane fungi associated with dwarf willow (Salix herbacea).
