Observation data for the database should include the following contents:

• Data provider (surname, forename, reachability/contact information)
• Taxon (following the given reference list)
• Reliability of determination (sure/cf./aff./dubious/uncertain)
• Herbarium specimen present? (if yes: herbarium acronym and specimen number)
• Date of collection/observation (if day unknown, quoting of week/month/year)
• Collector/observer (surname and forename)
• Municipality of the observation locality
• Name of locality (following the official Austrian Map ÖK 50.000)

• Geographical coordinates of the locality (degrees-minutes-seconds, decimal degrees) or projected coordinates (BMN-28/31/34, UTM-32N/-33N)
• If coordinates unknown: grid cell (MTB) with quadrant of locality.

  In principle, newer observations should be reported as exact as possible, with precise locality coordinates. If precise coordinates are absent, quoting of MTB-quadrants is an alternative possible.

• Methods and und principles of determination (literature)
• Determinator (surname and forename)
• Documentation (field protocol number / description sheets / pictures etc.)
• Ecological data (substrate / habitats / vegetation / soil / climate / weather etc.)
• Description of locality (precise description of the collecting location)
• Elevation/altitude of locality (sea level +- 20 m)

Systematic placement of the fungal species (family / class etc.); ecological data of the species which are not based on own observations but on literature, e.g. type of nutrition (mycorrhiza / saprobism / parasitism).
