In the lowland virgin forests of Ranšpurk and Cáhnov near Lanžhot (Czechoslovakia), the rare species Crepidotus crocophyllus (Berk.) Sacc. was discovered. Originally described from North America, this is its first European record. Fruit bodies were found from May to October on decaying wood of several tree species including ash, elm, hornbeam, linden, field maple, and oak. The Czech text provides a detailed description.
