Washington Natural Heritage Program
Working List of Rare Macrofungi

November 2004

The following lists of macrofungi were compiled primarily by Dr. Joe Ammirati University of Washington. Michelle Seidl assisted with the preparation of the lists and made many helpful suggestions as to possible species for listing in Washington State. Jim Trappe and Nancy Weber provided information for the lists and continue to work toward a more complete listing for the region. Jan Lindgren, Tom Volk, Hal Burdsall, Currie Marr, Dave Largent, Scott Redhead and Jim Ginns also provided information for this list. There is stronger representation on these lists from western Washington than from eastern Washington, due partly to the lack of knowledge about eastern Washington macrofungi No standard reference exists for macrofungi nomenclature.

A key to rank fields appears below.

Description of Rank Codes
Global Rank (GRank)
Global Rank characterizes the relative rarity or endangerment of the element world-wide. Two codes (e.g. G1G2) represent an intermediate rank.
G1 = Critically imperiled globally (5 or fewer occurrences).
G2 = Imperiled globally (6 to 20 occurrences).
G3 = Either very rare and local throughout its range or found locally in a restricted range (21 to 100 occurrences).
G4 = Apparently secure globally.
G5 = Demonstrably secure globally.
GH = Of historical occurrence throughout its range.
GU = Possibly in peril range-wide but status uncertain.
GX = Believed to be extinct throughout former range.
GNR = Not yet ranked.
Tn = Rarity of an infraspecific taxon. Numbers and codes similar to those for Gn ranks above.
Q = Questionable.
State Rank (SRank)
State Rank characterizes the relative rarity or endangerment within the state of Washington. Two codes (e.g. S1S2) represents an intermediate rank.
S1 = Critically imperiled (5 or fewer occurrences).
S2 = Imperiled (6 to 20 occurrences), very vulnerable to extirpation.
S3 = Rare or uncommon (21 to 100 occurrences).
S4 = Apparently secure, with many occurrences.
S5 = Demonstrably secure in state.
SA = Accidental in state.
SE = An exotic established in state.
SH = Historical occurrences only but still expected to occur.
SN = Regularly occurring, usually migratory, nonbreeding animals.
SU = Unrankable; need more information.
SX = Apparently extirpated from the state.
SP = Likely to occur or to have occurred but without documentation.
SZ = Not of conservation concern (not SE or SA).
SNR = Not yet ranked.
