This study systematically elucidates the diversity characteristics of macrofungi in the karst regions of Guizhou,Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Yunnan by integrating classical taxonomy with molecular phylogenetic analysis a total of 1513 species of macrofungi were identified,belonging to 2 phyla, 10 classes, 26 orders, 111 families,and 378 genera.Among these, 118 species are endemic species in China, 361 species are edible fungi, 252 species are medicinal fungi,and 203 species are poisonous fungi.Macrofungi with direct economic value account for 53.93% of the total macrofungal species in the region.According to statistical analysis,there are 40 dominant families in this area,com-prising 1294 species,including Russulaceae,Polyporaceae,Boletaceae,Agaricaceae and Amanitaceae. Additionally, 74 dominant genera were identified,comprising 1001 species,such as Russula,Amanita, Lactarius,Agaricus,Boletus,Marasmius,and Ganoderma.Furthermore,the study demonstrates that the distribution of macrofungi is predominantly driven by three key dimensions:altitudinal gradients,vege-tation types and soil properties,highlighting a significant correlation between community assembly and geomorphological types as well as habitat heterogeneity.It systematically analyzes the species composi-tion and distribution patterns of macrofungi in typical karst regions,elucidating the coupled mechanisms of "environmental factors-functional groups-resource value".These findings provide a theoretical foun-dation for the conservation and sustainable utilization of biological resources in karst ecosystems.
