This study attempts to inventory the mushrooms and related fungi of the Park and to assemble correlative data useful in park resource management and utilization. It is directed toward (1) determining what species of higher fungi grow in and around Grand Teton National Park; (2) appraising their role in the ecosystem; and (3) preparing descriptions, illustrations, and where possible, keys for the common species. Fungi included are mostly Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes with large or otherwise conspicuous fruiting bodies. Collecting is not confined to Grand Teton National Park but includes sites with similar ecology in the areas surrounding the Park.

The broad, long-term objectives of this study are (1) to determine what species of higher fungi grow in forest, range, and pasturelands in and around Grand Teton National Park: (2) to appraise their role in the ecosystem; and (3) to prepare descriptions, keys and illistrations for the common species. These are approached simultaneously although smaller, specific segments are emphasized in different collecting seasons.

The 1989 field studies continue the inventory of macrofungi known to occur in the Grand Teton-Yellowstone Park area. The long-term objectives of this study are: 1. to determine which species grow in forest, range, and pasturelands in and around Grand Teton National Park; 2. to gain a better understanding of their role in the ecosystem; and 3. to prepare descriptions, keys, and illustrations for the common species.

The following species of wild mushrooms were collected in Grand Teton National Park and the surrounding areas of Jackson Hole between August 10 and August 19, 1978. Selected specimens of the less common species were preserved and are deposited in the National Fungus Collections Herbarium (BPI), Beltsville Agricultural Research Center.

The objective is an inventory of the "mushrooms'' to be found in Grand Teton National Park. The study includes all macromycetes of fungi with macroscopic or large, conspicuous fruiting bodies. Most are fleshy or woody Ascomycetes or Basidiomycetes but some are classified in other major taxa. Although there are no published floristic studies of the fungi of this area occasional and sporadic records of collections from the Tetons or Yellowstone are published, including type collections of at least two new species: Cortinarius ashii McKnight & Dublin (1975) and Lactarius gossypinus Hesler & Smith (1979). An interim report listing 131 species was submitted as a contribution to the University of Wyoming-National Park Service Annual Report for 1978 (McKnight, 1978).

In the summer of 2013, projects regarding wilderness in the John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway (Parkway) and Grand Teton National Park (Park) were researched and completed. The researcher worked under the direct supervision of Shan Burson, bioacoustics ecologist and wilderness coordinator for Grand Teton National Park, and with the staff of the Science and Resource Management Division of Grand Teton National Park. The main goal of the wilderness internship was the drafting of a wilderness eligibility assessment for the Parkway. Secondary tasks included research and recommendations for wilderness management in the Park.

Abundance And Diversity

We documented abundance and diversity of raptors in a relatively undisturbed landscape in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, from February through August 2001. We located a total of 38 nesting pairs / 31.1 km, and a total of 8 raptor species. The American kestrel (Falco sparverius) and the Common raven (Corvus corax) were the two most abundant species on the study area. In this study, we considered Common ravens as an ecological and trophic level equivalent of raptors. Five of the eight species migrate, and two of the eight species are known neotropical migrants. The mean number of young fledged for all species was 1.9 (range=0.2 to 3.1, SD=1.3). We located the territory but not a nest for three Great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) pairs. Low precipitation and warm temperatures characterized weather during the last two years. Effects of weather conditions and human disturbance on raptor abundance within the study area were examined.

The 2 weeks field studies during June of 1987 continued work on that part of the previously stated objectives (e.g. McKnight, Harper, & McKnight, 1986) concerned with the inventory of fungal species in the Wyoming national parks, particularly Grand Teton National Park. The specific objectives were to (1) study species of the genus Cortinarius, section Leprocybe, particularly those in the subsection Zinziberati to further clarify species concepts and relationships of species collected earlier, especially those of the 1983 and 1987 collecting seasons; (2) obtain illustrations of species for a revision of the previously published Checklist (McKnight, 1982) and a fieldguide of common species in the Grand Teton-Yellowstone area now in preparation.

Does baiting influence the relative composition of the diet of foxes?

The changes in the diet of foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in the Jervis Bay Region was assessed following a long-term baiting program by analysing the composition of fox faecal excreta (scats). In all, 470 fox scats were collected between April and August 2003 from two baited sites, Booderee National Park (BNP) and Beecroft Peninsula, and from two unbaited sites in the southern and northern parts of Jervis Bay National Park (SJBNP and NJBNP respectively). Diet was compared between these sites and mammalian diet was also compared from scats collected before baiting in 1996 and after baiting in 2000 at Beecroft Peninsula and in 2001 at Booderee National Park. In 2003, the most common species consumed by foxes was the common ringtail possum (Pseudocheirus peregrinus), except at unbaited NJBNP, where the swamp wallaby (Wallabia bicolor) was the most frequent dietary item. Significant dietary differences were found between unbaited and baited sites, with the long-nosed bandicoot (Perameles nasuta) and P. peregrinus featuring more in the diet of foxes from the baited sites. Marked increases in the frequency of occurrence of P. peregrinus and P. nasuta in fox scats occurred from before baiting through to after baiting. Relative fox abundance, as indexed by the number of scats collected per kilometre, was lowest in Booderee, followed by Beecroft, then SJBNP, with NJBNP having the highest relative abundance of foxes. We suggest that baiting did affect the diet of foxes on both peninsulas and that the dietary changes across baiting histories were intrinsically related to an increase in abundance in some taxa as a result of relaxed predator pressure following sustained fox control. However, the lack of unbaited control sites over the whole study precludes a definitive conclusion.

In Summer 2011, the author undertook a number of projects for the Museum & Archives in the Science and Resource Management division of Grand Teton National Park (GRTE[i]). Alice Hart, Museum Curator and Archivist for the Park, supervised the work, which was part of an internship for graduate credit[ii]. The two major project categories were 1) Research Permits and 2) Biological Science Program Files.

This is a report of a revision of 565 herbarium specimens of lichens, lichenicolous or non-lichenized fungi and additional locality records of common species produced from a visit of the Russian-Finnish expedition to Vodlozersky National Park right after its foundation in 1991. The analyzed collection and field records represent the earliest information about the lichen flora of the territory of the park. In total, 177 species are listed including 173 lichens, 3 non-lichenized and 1 lichenicolous fungi. Xylographa rubescens is new to the Republic of Karelia. Twenty two species are reported for the first time for biogeographic province Karelia transonegensis; 47 species for the Karelian part of Vodlozersky National Park; and 17 species for the whole territory of the park.
