Argentina is located in southern South America, between
21° and 55° S and 53° and 73° W, covering 3.7 million of
km2. Due to the large size of the country, Argentina has a
vast variety of climates; from humid tropical forests (such
as the Yungas and Paranaense forests), xerophytic forests
(Chaco, Espinal), grasslands (Pampa), deserts (Puna,
Patagonian steppe, Monte), to cold and humid habitats
(Patagonian Andean forest) (Burkart et al. 1999, Brown
et al. 2006, Niveiro and Albertó 2012a). Cabrera (1994)
divides Argentina into 11 phytogeographic provinces,
which belong to 4 Domains and 2 Regions. An extended
list of vegetation types presented in each phytogeographic
province can also be consulted in Cabrera ́s book (op. cit.).
In previous papers, partial checklists of the Argentinean
Agaricales were presented for the families Amanitaceae,
Pluteaceae, and Hygrophoraceae (Niveiro and Albertó
2012a); Coprinaceae and Strophariaceae (Niveiro and
Albertó 2012b); Bolbitaceae and Crepidotaceae (Niveiro
and Albertó 2012c); Tricholomataceae (Niveiro and
Albertó 2012d); Agaricaceae (Niveiro and Albertó
2013a); and Paxillaceae, Gomphidiaceae, Boletaceae,
and Russulaceae (Niveiro and Albertó 2013b). The list
of species for Cortinariaceae and Entolomataceae of
Argentina is presented in this work. The Cortinariaceae
was studied by Moser and Horak (1975), Horak (1980),
Moser (2001), Singer and Digilio (1952), Singer (1954,
1969), and Spegazzini (1988). The Entolomataceae was
mainly studied by Singer and Digilio (1952), Singer (1969), and Horak (1976, 1978, 1980, 1982, 1983). The purpose
of this study is to establish a baseline of knowledge
about the diversity of species described for the families
Cortinariaceae and Entolomataceae in Argentina, as a base
for future studies of mushroom diversity.
