Description

The JA Herbarium of the Andalusian Mycology Center \”La Trufa\” (Priego de Córdoba, Andalusia, Spain) is a herbarium specialized in fungi which was established in 2003 as part of the Plan for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Mushrooms and Truffles in Andalusia that began in the year 2000 as part of the then Ministry of the Environment and which continues in the current Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Sustainable Development of the Junta de Andalucía. Most of the records correspond to specimens collected in Andalusia, although there are also some from other Autonomous Communities and other countries. A table extracted from the herbarium database is published in which all the records are included except those corresponding to taxa protected by the legislation (Andalusian List of Wild Species of Special Protection in which the Andalusian Catalog of Threatened Species is included, published as Annex X of Decree 23/2012, of February 14, which regulates the conservation and sustainable use of wild flora and fauna and their habitats) and some recent additions that have not yet been published by their authors .
