KRUPODOROVA T.A., BARSHTEYN V.YU., KIZITSKA T.O., POKAS E.V. (2019): Effect of cultivation conditions on mycelial growth and antibacterial activity of Lentinula edodes and Fomitopsis betulina.   [xylotrophic basidiomycetes, shiitake, Piptoporus, fungal growth conditions, fungal antibiotic activity.]  Czech Mycology 71(2): 167-186   (published: 13th December, 2019)
  abstract   This research dealt with the effect of cultivation conditions on mycelial growth and antibacterial activity of Lentinula edodes and Fomitopsis betulina in liquid static culture. The antibacterial activity of mycelium and culture liquid were assayed against the bacteria Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using the disk diffusion method. The optimum incubation period of mycelial growth for both species and their antibacterial activity was 14 days. The biomass of the studied species was the largest at temperatures of 26–28 °C. The highest mycelium production was recorded at pH 3.5–4.0, whereas the strongest antibacterial activity was observed at pH 5.5. Of the carbon sources tested, the highest mycelium productivity of L. edodes was recorded for glucose, followed by cellulose. Cellulose was found to be the optimal carbon source for the highest antibacterial activity of L. edodes. Cellulose was also the optimal carbon source for mycelial growth in F. betulina, but the highest antibacterial activity was achieved with added galactose. For both fungal species, asparagine was found to be the nitrogen source producing a maximum biomass, whereas the highest antibacterial activity of L. edodes and F. betulina was noticed after adding ammonium nitrate and peptone, respectively. The antibacterial potential of culture liquids appeared to be higher in the studied species when compared to their mycelium. Establishing optimum cultivation conditions will allow for obtaining maximum productivity of mycelium and culture liquids with the highest antibacterial activity.

HOLEC J., WILD J. (2011): Fungal diversity in sandstone gorges of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park (Czech Republic): impact of climatic inversion.   [macromycetes, ecology, microclimate, boreal-montane fungi]  Czech Mycology 63(2): 243-263   (published: 10th August, 2011)
  abstract   The diversity of macrofungi in 8 sandstone gorges (narrow valleys bordered by sandstone walls, mostly covered by Picea forests with admixed Fagus, alt. 170–390 m) was assessed with respect to microclimatic data from 235 stations measuring temperature and soil moisture along the elevation gradient. In total, 253 species of macrofungi were found including some boreal-montane species, species preferring moist habitats and/or species of more or less natural vegetation. Microclimatically, the bottoms of gorges are significantly colder than their slopes and slope crests during the vegetation period (climatic inversion) and show higher soil moisture throughout the year. However, they are not significantly colder during the winter period and even show a higher average minimal temperature than the rest of gorges. Generally, bottoms of sandstone gorges function as „buffers“ maintaining a stable, humid and rather cold microclimate and enabling the occurrence of some boreal-montane fungi and species requiring humid conditions. Climatic inversion is a phenomenon markedly influencing the distribution of fungi in the landscape and enabling extrazonal occurrence of some species.

KOTLABA F., POUZAR Z. (2003): Polypores (Polyporales s. l.) collected in Cuba.   [Polypores, hosts, Cuba, localities]  Czech Mycology 55(1-2): 7-50   (published: 23rd July, 2003)
  abstract   The paper deals with 75 species of polypores (Polyporales s.l.) - mostly with their hosts collected during a 5 months’stay of the first author in Cuba at the end of 1966 and the beginning of 1967. In this paper mostly common (but also some uncommon) species are treated; most of the interesting and very rare polypores were published 19 years ago.

  abstract   Sixty-three species of polypores (Polyporales s.l.) were identified on 38 taxa of native woody host plants out of 476 records in urban areas of Slovak towns and villages. The most common species (more than 20 finds) were Bjerkandera adusta, Daedaleopsis confragosa, Fomes fomentarius, Phellinus igniarius, Phellinus tuberculosus and Trametes versicolor. Twenty-eight species were recorded only once or twice.

SOUKUP F. (1988): Contribution to the sporulation knowledge of some polypores. I.  Česká Mykologie 42(1): 1-11   (published: 10th February, 1988)
  abstract   Results of sporulation study and some other new information on the biology of five selected polypores are given. The polypores are Antrodia heteromorpha, Antrodia serialis, Fomitopsis pinicola, Osmoporus odoratus, Skeletocutis amorphus, all growing in ČSR on Norway spruce. These results were gained in the years 1980–84 on representative localities in regions near Dobříš and Rožmitál p. Třemšínem (Central Bohemia). Possible use of results in forest practice is discussed.

NOVÁK J., RYPÁČEK V. (1980): Growth dynamics of hyphae in Fomitopsis pinicola.  Česká Mykologie 34(4): 183-187   (published: 1980)
  abstract   Two following types of hyphae were found in mycelium which kept their character: a) non-branching hyphae which grew rapidly and whose growth rate was conformable to that of the colony on malt-agar and to that of hyphae in wood in longitudinal direction, b) branched hyphae whose main hypha grew slowly. The growth retardation of the main hypha was the higher the more rapidly lateral hyphae grew regardless of their number. The total growth increases of all hyphae on one branched hypha were conformable to the increase of an unbranched one.

GABRIEL J., GRODZYNSKA G.A., NEBESNYI V.B., LANDIN V.P. (2023): Radioactive contamination of mushrooms from Polis'ke Forestry (Kyiv Region, Ukraine) long after the Chornobyl accident.   [anthropogenic radionuclides, accumulation, fungi, dose, Polissya.]  Czech Mycology 75(2): 117-137   (published: 12th September, 2023)
  abstract   A study of the radiocaesium activity in fruitbodies of 54 mushroom species from 18 locations of Polis'ke Forestry complex was carried out with gamma spectrometry. In some mushroom samples, strontium was determined with a radiochemical method. However, the mushrooms accumulated ¹³⁷Cs one to three orders of magnitude more actively than ⁹⁰Sr. The highest levels of ¹³⁷Cs activity, recorded in Lactarius rufus, Imleria badia, Paxillus involutus and Cortinarius praestans from the forest area at the settlement of Polis'ke in 1998 and 2000, exceeded 1 MBq/kg dry mass. By 2018, the activity of ¹³⁷Cs in 60.0% and 37.84% of mushroom samples in the Zelenopolyans'ke and Steshchyns'ke Forestries, respectively, exceeded the maximum permissible level valid in Ukraine, 2,500 Bq/kg dry mass. Significant differences in the levels of contamination of the same species are noted not only at different locations, but also within the same sampling site, which is probably associated with a complex of factors which are difficult to assess, such as extremely heterogeneous nature of contamination, depth of mycelium in the soil layer, and microclimatic conditions in the place where individual fruitbodies grow. The data obtained indicate a persistent risk to the population due to internal exposure as a result of uncontrolled consumption of wild mushrooms in this region. In 2018, the potential equivalent dose per year (contribution of ¹³⁷Cs only) reached maximum values of 0.239 mSv in Suillus spp. and 0.130 mSv in Imleria badia from Zelenopolyans'ke Forestry.

KRUPODOROVA T., BARSHTEYN V., KIZITSKA T., RATUSHNYAK V., BLUME Y. (2023): Antagonistic activity of selected macromycetes against two harmful micromycetes.   [ascomycetes, Aspergillus niger, basidiomycetes, dual-culture, Penicillium polonicum.]  Czech Mycology 75(1): 85-100   (published: 23rd June, 2023)
  abstract   Competition between 31 macromycete species and two harmful micromycetes Aspergillus niger and Penicillium polonicum was evaluated using dual-culture plate assay. All investigated fungi, except for Inonotus obliquus and Lepista luscina, possessed different levels of antagonistic activity against the tested micromycetes. Hypsizygus marmoreus and Lyophyllum shimeji were inactive against A. niger. Morchella esculenta and Oxyporus obducens were passive in the case of co-growth with P. polonicum. The study of fungal interactions showed variability in types of reactions and level of their visualisation. Co-cultivation of the studied species resulted in the following reactions: deadlock after mycelial contact and at a distance, partial or complete replacement after initial deadlock on contact. In general, the studied macromycetes showed moderate activity against the two micromycetes, as 11 species showed active and 7 species moderate antagonism. Results revealed higher antagonistic activity of macromycetes against P. polonicum than in A. niger co-cultures. Wood-decaying species Ganoderma lucidum and Trametes versicolor were the most active fungi against the two tested micromycetes with a maximal antagonism index. These findings provide valuable insights which can be further explored by means of in vivo assays to find a suitable agent for the biocontrol of diseases or spoilage caused by A. niger and P. polonicum.

KUNCA V., PEIGER M., TOMKA P., VAMPOLA P. (2022): Old-growth forest fungi – new localities and habitat and host preferences in Slovakia (I).   [Amylocystis lapponica, Antrodia labyrinthica, Ionomidotis irregularis, Skeletocutis odora, Yuchengia narymica, decay stage, forest naturalness.]  Czech Mycology 74(1): 33-55   (published: 28th February, 2022)   Electronic supplement
  abstract   “Old-growth forests” comprise habitats from untouched, primeval forests to partially man-influenced, near-natural forests. Some fungal species occur preferably in these forests with a high degree of naturalness. Occurrence data from Slovakia for five wood-inhabiting fungal species was processed. The numbers of known localities of these species in Slovakia range from 4 to 49. The five species prefer different stages of wood decay when producing fruitbodies. Records of the studied species indicate that Amylocystis lapponica and Ionomidotis irregularis occur only in old-growth forests, especially in the best-preserved virgin and natural ones, in Slovakia typically on wood of only one or two tree species. Antrodia labyrinthica occurs in natural and near-natural forests, while the remaining two species can survive in managed forests with a natural tree composition, localised close to forests of higher naturalness (Skeletocutis odora) or even in more intensively managed forests with a small amount of decaying wood and parks (Yuchengia narymica). The substantial increase in the number of records of some species in Slovakia can be related to more intensive research in montane old-growth forests (e.g. Amylocystis lapponica) or probably to a massive spread of species (Yuchengia narymica), even in a wide elevation range.

LAMBEVSKA-HRISTOVA A., BANCHEVA S., KARADELEV M. (2022): First record of Dendrothele nivosa (Basidiomycota) for the Balkans on a new host, Savin juniper.   [lignicolous species, rare species, host interaction, Juniperus sabina.]  Czech Mycology 74(1): 25-32   (published: 2nd February, 2022)
  abstract   Dendrothele nivosa is a rare Mediterranean lignicolous species, growing on representatives of the genus Juniperus, hitherto unknown from the Balkans. This wood-decaying fungus was collected on living branches of Savin juniper, a rare and protected plant species, included in the Bulgarian Biological Diversity Act. Dendrothele nivosa is considered to be a white rot saprobe with a restricted range following the distribution of the juniper host. This study is aimed at providing information on the first find of D. nivosa in the Balkans, i.e. in the southwestern part of Bulgaria, on a new substrate, as well as on the possible impact of the fungus on the host population.

RAMSHAJ Q., RUSEVSKA K., TOFILOVSKA S., KARADELEV M. (2021): Checklist of macrofungi from oak forests in the Republic of Kosovo.   [fungi, taxa, Balkan Peninsula, diversity, ecology, rare species.]  Czech Mycology 73(1): 21-42   (published: 12th February, 2021)   Electronic supplement
  abstract   In the period from 2017 to 2019 a survey of the diversity of fungi in oak forests in the Republic of Kosovo was conducted. The survey included 31 localities, mainly in Quercetum frainetto-cerris and Querco-Carpinetum orientalis communities. As a result of the fieldwork performed in various seasons, a first checklist of fungi from oak forests in the country is provided. A total of 220 taxa (219 species and one forma) were identified. The majority of the identified taxa belong to Basidiomycota (206) and only 14 species to Ascomycota. The paper provides a list of all recorded species with data on locality, altitude, time of collection, forest association and type of substrate. Distribution and ecology of selected rare or threatened species are briefly discussed.

HOLEC J., BĚŤÁK J., POUSKA V., DVOŘÁK D., ZÍBAROVÁ L., KOUT J., ADAM D. (2018): Old-growth forest fungus Antrodiella citrinella - distribution and ecology in the Czech Republic   [macrofungi, polypore, habitats, substrates, phenology, indicator fungus, forest naturalness, Europe]  Czech Mycology 70(2): 127-143   (published: 24th October, 2018)   Electronic supplement
  abstract   Localities and records of Antrodiella citrinella (Basidiomycota, Polyporales) in the Czech Republic are summarised and the ecology of the species is evaluated. The 31 localities are mostly situated in mountain regions, the highest number of records coming from elevations of 1200–1299 m.Less frequently, A. citrinella is found in highland regions, growing either on slopes of hills or on steep slopes and bottoms of deep river or stream valleys. Most records are from montane and supramontane spruce forests and submontane to montane mixed forests dominated by beech, spruce and fir. The fungus also occurs in waterlogged spruce forests and ravine forests. Most of the localities are protected as nature reserves or strictly protected zones of national parks. Picea abies is a preferred substrate, followed by Abies alba, Fagus sylvatica, and basidiomata of Fomitopsis pinicola. Almost all records are from fallen trunks 10–100 cm in diameter, rarely stumps or pieces of wood. The wood decay stage is 2–5, its peak in stage 3. The main fructification period is autumn, mainly October and November, and spring from March to the first half of June with the maximum in May. Summer records are rare. A distribution map for the Czech Republic is published and data on occurrence in other European countries are compiled and discussed. The Czech distribution data are confronted with the GIS map layer of the Czech natural forests databank containing exact data on naturalness of forest stands. This analysis shows that A. citrinella clearly prefers virgin, natural and near-natural forest stands, i.e. old-growth forests, therefore it can be used as an indicator of this habitat.

(2016): Fungi and lichens recorded during the Cryptogam Symposium on Natural Beech Forests, Slovakia 2011.   [old-growth beech forests, diversity, conservation, indicator, red-list, Europe]  Czech Mycology 68(1): 1-40   (published: 1st February, 2016)
  abstract   In September 2011, an international team of cryptogam experts visited seven national nature reserves in five mountain areas of Slovakia: Havešová and Stužica in the Poloniny Mts., Vihorlat in the Vihorlatské vrchy Mts., Oblík in the Slanské vrchy Mts., Dobročský prales and Klenovský Vepor in the Veporské vrchy Mts. and Badínsky prales in the Kremnické vrchy Mts. The reserves were selected to represent examples of the best protected old-growth beech forests in the country. The aim was to study the diversity of wood-inhabiting fungi on fallen beech logs and epiphytic lichens on standing beech trees. In total, 215 fungal species and 128 lichens were recorded on beech wood and bark, and 27 fungi and 26 lichens on additional substrates. The site of the highest conservation value is Stužica with 126 fungi and 79 lichens recorded on beech, of which 12 fungi and 19 lichens are indicators of high nature conservation value. Combined with historical records, a total of 19 non-lichenised fungal indicators are now reported from the site, making it the highest ranked natural beech forest in Europe. The second most important reserve for fungal diversity is Havešová with 121 species, including 14 indicator species recorded on beech wood. For lichens, the second most important reserve is Klenovský Vepor with 69 species including 18 lichen indicators recorded on beech. Nine fungus species are here reported as new to Slovakia: Asterostroma medium, Entoloma hispidulum, E. pseudoparasiticum, Gloeohypochnicium analogum, Hohenbuehelia valesiaca, Hymenochaete ulmicola, Hypocrea parmastoi, Melanomma spiniferum and Scutellinia colensoi. Lichen species Alyxoria ochrocheila is reported as new to Slovakia and Lecanographa amylacea, which was considered extinct in the Slovak Red list, was also recorded. This is the first list of wood-inhabiting fungi and epiphytic lichens of old-growth beech forests in Slovakia, and hence an important contribution to the exploration of biodiversity in Slovakia.

HOLEC J., KŘÍŽ M., POUZAR Z., ŠANDOVÁ M. (2015): Boubínský prales virgin forest, a Central European refugium of boreal-montane and old-growth forest fungi.   [Mt. Boubín, Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic, Basidiomycota, Ascomycota, diversity, ecology, distribution]  Czech Mycology 67(2): 157-226   (published: 10th September, 2015)
  abstract   Boubínský prales virgin forest is the best-preserved montane Picea-Fagus-Abies forest in the Czech Republic. Its core area (46.67 ha), grown with original montane forest never cut nor managed by foresters, has been protected since 1858. It represents the centre of the present-day nature reserve (685.87 ha). A detailed inventory of its fungal diversity was carried out in 2013–2014. Ten segments differing in habitat and naturalness were studied (235 ha). The total number of species was 659, with the centre of diversity in the core area (503 species) followed by the neighbouring segments grown by natural forests minimally influenced by man. When literature and herbarium data are added, the total diversity reaches a total of 792 taxa. The locality represents a unique refugium for some borealmontane fungi (e.g. Amylocystis lapponica, Laurilia sulcata, Pholiota subochracea), a high number of rare species preferring old-growth forests (Antrodia crassa, A. sitchensis, Baeospora myriadophylla, Chrysomphalina chrysophylla, Fomitopsis rosea, Ionomidotis irregularis, Junghuhnia collabens, Skeletocutis odora, S. stellae, Tatraea dumbirensis), wood-inhabiting and mycorrhizal fungi confined to Abies (Panellus violaceofulvus, Phellinus pouzarii, Pseudoplectania melaena, Lactarius albocarneus), and a high number of indicators of well-preserved Fagus forests (e.g.Climacodon septentrionalis, Flammulaster limulatus, Pholiota squarrosoides). Several very rare fungi are present, e.g. Chromosera cyanophylla, Cystoderma subvinaceum and Pseudorhizina sphaerospora. The value of the local mycobiota is further emphasised by the high number of protected and Red List species. Comparison with other Central European old-growth forests has confirmed that Boubínský prales is a mycological hotspot of European importance.

  abstract   In an attempt to settle the systematic position of Pilát’s species Leptoporus lowei (currently Postia lowei), which is sometimes incorrectly interpreted in mycological literature, a study of rich type material deposited in the mycological herbarium of the National Museum, Prague (PRM) was undertaken.Detailed description of macroscopic and microscopic features is presented together with molecular characterisation. The most important macroscopic and microscopic features differentiating P. lowei from similar or related species are discussed. Phylogenetic analysis clearly demonstrated that P. lowei is a well-separated taxon with closest affinity to P. leucomallella and P. tephroleuca.

  abstract   The ecological knowledge on Crepidotus kubickae is not only insufficient in Slovakia but also in the rest of Europe. In the years 2008–2011, a case study was therefore carried out in central Slovakia to find out more data on its habitats and substrate preferences. During the research, 30 collections were gathered at seven localities of the Veporské vrchy Mts., Stolické vrchy Mts. and Muránska planina Plateau.The substrates of the collections were precisely described and collecting sites characterised and documented by phytocoenological relevés. In the selected area, C. kubickae occurred in several types of spruce or mixed forests (with dominance of Picea abies); namely in six associations of forest communities: Vaccinio myrtilli-Piceetum, Athyrio alpestris-Piceetum, Calamagrostio variae-Abietetum, cf.Cortuso-Fagetum, cf. Poo chaixii-Fagetum, and Dentario enneaphylli-Fagetum. The altitude of most collecting sites was above 1100 m a. s. l. The species preferred dead corticated fallen and standing stems of Picea abies of approx. 15–100 cm in diameter, aged about 70–180 years. In this paper, also the ecological knowledge on C. kubickae in Europe is summarised.

  abstract   Lignicolous pyrenomycetes, their anamorphs and asexually reproducing Ascomycetes were investigated on deciduous and coniferous wood at 10 localities of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park (České Švýcarsko in Czech) during 2003–2005. A total number of 109 species was recorded, 11 species were found both as teleomorph and anamorph. Individual localities were evaluated from the viewpoint of Ascomycetes diversity. Ecological demands, relationship with the type of substratum, and microhabitat preferences were noted and several ecological groups are suggested. Rare and endangered species and factors affecting Ascomycetes diversity are discussed. Several species new to the Czech Republic were recorded, viz.

HOLEC J. (2005): Distribution and ecology of Camarops tubulina (Ascomycetes, Boliniaceae) in the Czech Republic and remarks on its European distribution.   [fungi, pyrenomycetes, Camarops tubulina, natural forests, virgin forests, bioindicator]  Czech Mycology 57(1-2): 97-115   (published: 31st August, 2005)
  abstract   Camarops tubulina is a remarkable pyrenomycete included in the Red Book and protected by law in the Czech Republic. Until 1995, 8 localities were known. Due to intensive searching in the period 1996 - spring 2005, the species is currently known from 66 localities (94finds). Its stromata mostly occur on old, fallen, decaying trunks of Picea and Abies, rarely of Fagus, especially in virgin forests or minimally influenced natural forests, but rarely also on old, decaying trunks lying in man-made forests. Most frequent habitats are submontane herb-rich beech forests with a dmixture of Abies and Picea, mixed mountainous forests composed of Fagus, Picea and Abies, natural spruce forests of the supramontane belt and bog spruce forests surrounding mountain peat bogs. The species also occurs in lowlands, but at sites with climatic inversion such as stream valleys, small canyons and gorges. An analysis of its habitats showed that the most important conditions necessary for its occurrence are the existence of more or less natural forest stands with presence of fallen, decaying trunks of Picea, Abies orFagus (or, rarely, presence of such trunks in man-made forests) and a stable, humid and cool microclimate, best ensured by a closed forest stand. From the point of view of nature conservation, Camaropstubulina is an important bioindicator of natural forest ecosystems. The Czech Republic represents the richest area of its occurrence in Europe, where the species is currently known from north­ern and central part. Distribution maps for the Czech Republic and Europe are provided.

VAŠUTOVÁ M. (2004): Macromycetes of permanent plots in cultural forests in the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts. and Vsetínské vrchy hills (Czech Republic).   [Czech Republic, macromycetes, cultural beech and spruce forests, mycocoenology, permanent plots, ecology]  Czech Mycology 56(3-4): 259-289   (published: 22nd December, 2004)
  abstract   The mycoflora of cultural (artificial and managed subnatural) forests (i.e. beech, spruce and mixed forests) was studied in 18 permanent plots in the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts. and the adjacent part of the Vsetínské vrchy hills (Czech Republic) during they ears 1998-2000. Al together, 314 species of macromycetes were recorded. The highest number of species was recorded in plots in a young spruce forest on a former meadow (72 species ) and a waterlogged spruce forest (67 species ). Mycorrhizal fungi were the dominant group in older spruce forests (44.2 %), waterlogged spruce forests (43.3 %) and alder forest (45.6 %). A high percentage of terrestrial saprophytes was found in the young forest on a former meadow (43 %). Generally, common species prevailed.The main factor which influenced the species composition of all trophic groups was the composition of the tree layer. These results are compared with results from similar plots in the Czech Republic and neighbouring countries.

TOMŠOVSKÝ M., HOMOLKA L. (2003): Pigment production in incompatibility zones of Trametes versicolor is in correlation with the laccase activity of the dikaryons involved.   [Basidiomycetes, Trametes versicolor, laccase, pigment, test]  Czech Mycology 55(3-4): 155-160   (published: 22nd December, 2003)
  abstract   A correlation between the extracellular laccase activity (estimated by a drop test using ABTS) and the presence of a dark pigmented zone in the pairing of different Trametes (Coriolus) versicolor dikaryons in vitro was studied. Al together 24 dikaryotic strains from different substrates and distant localities of three European countries were paired to each other and the pairings were checked for the presence of dark pigment in the contact zone. Using the \2 test, a positive correlation between the laccase activity and the presence of pigment was found.

Colloquium "Fungi as Model Organisms in Research and Biotechnology - II", Olomouc, Czech Republic, September 5th–6th, 2002.  Czech Mycology 55(1-2): 103-149   (published: 23rd July, 2003)
  abstract   The colloquium was a continuation of a previous scientific meeting that took place in Olomouc in 1999 (Czech Mycology 52: 139-178, 2000). It was organised by the joint Commission for Experimental Mycology of the Czechoslovak Microbiological Society and the Czech Scientific Society for Mycology together with the Institute of Biology, Faculty of Medicine of Palacký University, Olomouc. The purpose of the colloquium was to provide a platform for a broad discussion on the use of fungi as model organisms in both basic and applied research. The programme of the colloquium was divided into four parts dealing with the following topics: biochemistry, biotechnology and genetics of fungi; phytopathogenic fungi; fungi pathogenic to humans and animals; and mycology of food and mycotoxins. Each topic was opened with a plenary lecture (30 min.), followed by short communications (10 min.) and accompanied by poster presentations. Besides five plenary lectures, 20 short communications and 24 posters were presented. In total 42 researchers took part in the colloquium and discussed various topics important for the further direction of experimental mycology. Abstracts of the contributions are given here.

VAMPOLA P. (1996): New localities of Pilatoporus ibericus in Europe and Asia.   [Pilatoporus, polypores, Aphyllophorales, sexuality, hyphal systems]  Czech Mycology 49(2): 85-90   (published: 13th October, 1996)
  abstract   The very rare polypore Pilatoporus ibericus (Melo et Ryv.) Kotl. et Pouz. is reported from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia and Iran for the first time. Study of the sexuality of pure cultures has shown that P. ibericus is heterothallic and bipolar. The type species of the genus Pilatoporus, Polyporus palustris Berk. et Curt., was studied microscopically in detail. The presence of thick-walled and only rarely clamped sclerified generative hyphae in tissue of its basidiocarps is introduced as a new and for the genus Pilatoporus very important and characteristic feature. The new combination Pilatoporus spraguei (Berk. et Curt.) Vampola is proposed. The type specimen of the recently described polypore Pilatoporus maroccanus Kotl. et Pouz. was compared with the widely known species Trametes suaveolens Fr. Neither macroscopic nor microscopic study of its basidiocarps showed any marked distinguishing features, except for the slightly smaller spores of the former.

  abstract   Four polypores, viz. Antrodiella beschidica Vampola et Pouzar, Antrodiella faginea Vampola et Pouzar, Antrodiella farinacea Vampola et Pouzar and Antrodiella thompsonii Vampola et Pouzar, are described as new species. The genus Antrodiella Ryv. et Johansen is emended and a review of all so far known species is added. A short key for identification of Central European species of Antrodiella is included.

MIHÁL I. (1993): Frequency and occurrence stability-method of determination of dominant fungi species in beech wood after cutting operation.  Česká Mykologie 46(3-4): 282-295   (published: 25th August, 1993)
  abstract   The mycoflora of southern part of Kremnica Hills was studied by autor in 1990 and 1991. The dominant species of macromycets of beech forest stand were found out after cutting operation with the aid of frequency and occurence stability of determined fungi species. The autumn mycoaspect was characterized by occurence of these dominant fungi species: Hypoxylon fragiforme, Marasmius alliaceus, Hygrophorus ebumeus, Armiilaria ostoyae and others. The spring mycoaspect was characterized by species: Ustulina deusta, Bispora antennata, Collybia dryophila and others. The spring mycoaspect was speciesly poorer in comparison with the autumn mycoaspect in consequence of unfavourable climatic conditions. The wood-rotting fungi species have prevailed on the area. At the same time the species typical for warm-weather oak forests have been finding on the area together with the species of montane beech woods and fir-beech woods.

VAMPOLA P. (1993): The North American polypore Fibroporia radiculosa was found in Czechoslovakia.  Česká Mykologie 46(3-4): 223-227   (published: 25th August, 1993)
  abstract   The author reports a finding of a resupinate polyporaceous fungus Fibroporia radiculosa (Peck) Parm. in Czechoslovakia. The forest "Panský les" near Zbilidy in the district Jihlava in the western part of Moravia is a new locality of this rare species (leg. et det. P. Vampola, 15th August 1991, PRM 874087, MJ 227/91). This striking yellow Poria grows saprophytically on dead conifers and rarely on hardwoods. Till now it was known only froir North America, i.e. from Canada, USA, Costa Rica and Jamaica. Except Czechoslovakia this fungus grows in Europe in Germany and Austria too but there it has been by mycologists determined as Poria saxonica Dorfelt.

POUZAR Z. (1990): Additional notes on the taxonomy and nomenclature of Ischnoderma (Polyporaceae).  Česká Mykologie 44(2): 92-100   (published: 22nd June, 1990)
  abstract   The type species of Ischnoderma P. Karst., viz. I. resinosum (Fr.) P. Karst., is identical with Fomitopsis pinicola (Sw.: Fr.) P. Karst., and therefore the name Ischnoderma cannot be used for the genus in question. The generic name Lasiochlaena Pouz. gen. nov. is proposed for it. One of the species of this genus, known at present as Ischnoderma resinosum (Fr.) P. Karst. sensu auct., has no available legitimate name and therefore the name Lasiochlaena anisea Pouz. spec. nov. is proposed. Three names of polypores: Boletus fuscus Pers., B. fuliginosus Scop, and B. resinosus Schrad. are neotypified.

RYPÁČEK V. (1986): Some interesting ways of wood infection by fungi.  Česká Mykologie 40(4): 193-202   (published: 7th November, 1986)
  abstract   Infections caused by wood-decay fungi proceed in various ways depending not only on the fungal species but also on the substrate's chemical and physical properties. Spores released from hymenia may reach hundreds of thousands per hour per square decimeter, attacking both living and dead wood. Successful colonization is influenced by microbial antagonists like Trichoderma viride or Bacillus asterosporus. Spores may lose viability within days if they fail to germinate. In trees, wounds allow entry, and anatomical structure affects spore migration.

  abstract   Asian Poria subtrametea Pil. is redescribed on the basis of new material from the Soviet Far East and its new combination in the genus Pachykytospora Kotl. et Pouz. is proposed. The very rare Pachykytospora subtrametea (Pil.) Kotl. et Pouz. is an independent species differing from the uncommon P. tuberculosa (Fr.) Kotl. et Pouz. not only in macro- and microscopical characters but also in different host and distribution pattern. An amended description of the genus Pachykytospora Kotl. et Pouz. and a key to the determination of the four known species of that genus is added. Of these, only P. tuberculosa (Fr) Kotl. et Pouz. occurs in Europe.

  abstract   The article compares pine forests on aeolian sands in Rohatec (South Moravia) and Šajdíkové Humence (West Slovakia), focusing on soil properties, vegetation, and macrofungi. Forests in Doubrava near Hodonín were once dominated by oak, later replaced by Scots pine. In contrast, pine is native to the Záhorská nížina region. Historical vegetation development and ecological characteristics are discussed.

  abstract   The authors report on higher fungi of the Žofínský Virgin Forest near Nové Hrady in Southern Bohemia, the oldest forest reserve in Bohemia. Covering 97 ha at 740–830 m elevation, the forest contains mostly Fagus silvatica, Abies alba, and Picea excelsa. During two excursions, 227 species of higher fungi were collected: 131 Agaricales, 67 Aphyllophorales, 17 Discomycetes, 12 Pyrenomycetes, and 10 Myxomycetes. One new species, Collybia terginoides, and one new variety, Paxillus panuoides var. rubrosquamulosus, are described. Three species were reclassified. New species for Bohemia are marked with an asterisk.

  abstract   Yeast-like microorganisms were isolated from fruiting bodies of higher fungi in the Dobroč virgin forest. Among 70 strains, only three genera were found: Candida, Torulopsis, and Trichosporon. Relationships between strains were studied not only with standard methods, but also serologically and by calculating percentage similarity.

  abstract   The formation and development of plant and fungal communities in the hills near Brno are primarily influenced by microclimatic conditions. The paper describes communities on Horka Hill with different combinations of phanerogams and higher fungi, shaped by exposure and vegetation structure. The study shows how distinct microclimates lead to specific combinations of fungal species, complementing phytocenological characterization of vegetation.

  abstract   The Third European Mycological Congress, held in Glasgow, Scotland, from September 1 to 13, 1963, was characterized by excellent organization and a friendly, informal atmosphere. More than 200 participants attended the Congress, which included lectures, laboratory work, excursions, and exhibitions. Although the exhibition of fungi was considered poor, the Congress contributed significantly to scientific exchange and cooperation among European mycologists.
