Its national distribution is extended to Tuscany, Marche, Umbria, Puglia Basilicata, Calabria and confirmed for Sicily. Some details concerning morphological characters are also provided to avoid confusion in identification with M. hypopitys L. the other congeneric species occurring in Italy. Furthermore, observations about ecology of these taxa are provided.

He was born in the province of Siena in a small village called Villa a Sesta on 3 June 1795 and died in Siena on 11 August 1872. A contemporary of Anton de Bary, Serini had similar academic training and interests, graduating in medicine in Siena and turning his attention primarily to botany and mycology. He improved himself academically, studying the natural sciences in Florence, Pisa, Padova, and Bologna and practicing medicine in Florence at the hospitals of Santa Maria Novella and St. John of God. During his Florentine hospital experience, he became aware of the terrible suffering of those poisoned by mushrooms and very often the futility of their care. This prompted him to return to his hometown of Siena to dedicate himself to the study of fungi with the intent to allow everyone, "to the crowd even [unmannerly or uneducated]," to recognize the fruiting bodies of "mangerecci" (edible), "mangerecci e buono" (edible and good), "mangerecci e delizioso" (edible and delicious), "sospetti" (suspect), or "velenosi" (poisonous) fungi. Serini wrote that: "The moving cause of my passion for this specialty has always been the sorrow I feel for the too often and sad cases of poisoning caused by fungi."

However, habitat definitions in the Habitat Directive lead to several inaccuracies in local habitat characterization. Several wetland plant communities (and their corresponding habitats), rare in the Mediterranean basin, are not included in the Habitat Directive. This study proposes criteria for assessing the conservation importance of habitats. It deals with plant community types at the alliance level, as promising units for setting conservation priorities. The principle criteria considered as drivers for setting alliance conservation values are the distribution and abundance of plant species of conservation interest and their fidelity to a plant community. Multivariate methods were used, and a quantitative floristic index of alliance conservation priority was created. This procedure was applied to an important wetland in central Italy. Results emphasize: (i) high conservation values of some alliances not listed in the Habitat Directive, confirming various gaps in the current conservation law affecting Mediterranean wetlands; (ii) that habitats widely distributed in other biogeographical areas, may greatly underestimate their conservation importance in Mediterranean region; (iii) need to consider regional peculiarities when setting conservation priorities.
