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.

  abstract   43 common or some more frequent polypores are listed together with their most common and, on the other hand, uncommon hosts in Europe, some of which are very curious.

GÁPER J. (1996): Polypores associated with native woody host plants in urban areas of Slovakia.   [Polypores, native woody plants, urban areas, Slovakia]  Czech Mycology 49(2): 129-145   (published: 13th October, 1996)
  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.

KOTLABA F., KLÁN J. (1994): A handful of Aphyllophorales collected in Greece.   [Aphyllophorales, host plants, Greece]  Czech Mycology 47(3): 199-206   (published: 17th June, 1994)
  abstract   26 species of Aphyllophorales collected by the authors in Greece, some new for that country, are listed with rare or less abundant fungi represented by Inonotus rickii, Perenniporia tenuis, Porotheleum fimbriatum and Vuilleminia coryli. Some of common species were also found on unusual hosts, as e.g. Bjerkandera adusta and Trametes versicoloron Acacia retinodes, Laetiporus sulphureus on Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Radulomyces confluens on Anagyris foetida. The rather rare Perenniporia tenuis was found on Bougainvillea glabra, Phlomis fruticosa and on Vitis vinifera, whereas Vuillemmia corylion Carpinus orientalis. For major part of these fungi represent new records of hosts.

KOTLABA F., POUZAR Z. (1983): Taxonomic and nomenclatural notes on Trametes cervina and Ganoderma atkinsonii.  Česká Mykologie 37(1): 49-51   (published: 1983)
  abstract   Regarding the alteration of the typification of misinterpreted generic names (Sydney 1981) it is correct to use the name Antrodia P. Karst. for polypores formerly often called Coriolellus Murrill. As the species Trametes cervina (Schw.) Bres. belongs in this genus because of its dimitic hyphal system and other characters, the authors propose a new nomenclatural combination Antrodia cervina (Schw.) Koti. et Pouz. Following a revision of the type material of the polypore Ganoderma carnosum Pat. 1889 it has been ascertained that this species is conspecific with G. atkinsonii Jahn, Koti. et Pouz. 1980, so that the latter becomes its synonym.

KOTLABA F., POUZAR Z. (1981): Distribution and ecology of Ganoderma atkinsonii in Czechoslovakia.  Česká Mykologie 35(3): 121-133   (published: 31st August, 1981)
  abstract   Ganoderma atkinsonii, a species parallel to G. lucidum, occurs in Czechoslovakia chiefly in mountains in beech-fir forests on Abies alba and descends with this host tree also to lower altitudes. In lowlands and hilly countries it also occurs secondarily on other conifers and even rarely on broad-leaved trees in parks, gardens and along roads. Hitherto it has been known from 73 localities in Czechoslovakia.

KOTLABA F. (1976): Contribution to the knowledge of the Turkish Macromycetes.  Česká Mykologie 30(3-4): 156-169   (published: 1976)
  abstract   A list of 21 macromycetes collected in southern Turkey during a brief spring journey in 1973 is presented. Each species is accompanied by a short description and remarks. The collection period was suboptimal, and most specimens were either too young or too old.

  abstract   A comprehensive overview of fungal species published from the Boubín primeval forest in the Šumava mountains is presented. The author compiled records from ca. 50 mycological excursions since 1906 and integrated them with modern taxonomy. This basic inventory serves as a foundation for future studies of fungal succession in this protected forest.

KOTLABA F., POUZAR Z. (1971): Ganoderma adspersum (S. Schulz) Donk-a species resembling G. applanatum (Pers. ex S. F. Gray) Pat. (Tab. 80).  Česká Mykologie 25(2): 88-102   (published: 1971)
  abstract   While studying variability in European specimens of Ganoderma adspersum (S. Schulz.) Donk (= G. europaeum Steyaert), it was found that the only reliable distinguishing feature from G. applanatum (Pers. ex S. F. Gray) Pat. is spore size; other characters are variable and unreliable. A list of herbarium localities is given for Czechoslovakia and other European countries. The species appears to grow primarily outside natural forests, such as in parks and gardens.

  abstract   Four species belonging to the genera Chrysonectria and Sphaerostilbella are reported from the Czech Republic and Poland. A key to distinguish the studied species is provided. The type specimen of S. berkeleyana was studied. According to the available indexes or checklists, the finds of S. berkeleyana and S. broomeana may be new to the Czech Republic, the latter also to Poland.

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.

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.

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., BĚŤÁK J., DVOŘÁK D., KŘÍŽ M., KUCHAŘÍKOVÁ M., KRZYŚCIAK-KOSIŃSKA R., KUČERA T. (2019): Macrofungi on fallen oak trunks in the Białowieża Virgin Forest – ecological role of trunk parameters and surrounding vegetation.   [lignicolous fungi, Quercus robur, Europe, fungal diversity, ecology, wood decay, trunk orientation, forest canopy gaps, heat load.]  Czech Mycology 71(1): 65-89   (published: 18th June, 2019)   Electronic supplement
  abstract   All groups of macrofungi were recorded on 32 large fallen trunks of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) in various decay stages in the strictly protected zone of Białowieża National Park, Poland. The total number of species was 187 with 4–38 species per trunk. The mycobiota of individual trunks was unique, consisting of a variable set of several frequent species, a high number of infrequent to rare ones, and a considerable proportion of mycorrhizal fungi and species preferring conifer wood. Relations between trunk parameters, surrounding vegetation and fungal occurrences were analysed using multivariate statistical methods. The number of fungal species per trunk was significantly correlated with trunk orientation, which reflects the heat load via forest canopy gap, trunk size parameters, percentage of bark cover and contact with the soil. The species-richest trunks were those covered by bark, of larger volume (thick, long), not exposed to heat from afternoon sun, but, simultaneously, with lower canopy cover. Orientation (azimuth) of the fallen trunks proved to be significant also for the fungal species composition of a particular trunk, which also reflected trunk size characteristics, its moss/bark cover and contact with the soil. Presence of some dominants (Ganoderma applanatum, Mycena inclinata, Kretzschmaria deusta, Xylobolus frustulatus) had a significant effect on fungal community composition. Some herbs requiring nutrient-rich soils occurred in the vicinity of trunks with a larger contact area with the soil and in later stages of decay. The process of oak trunk decay in relation to fungi and surrounding vegetation is outlined.

(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.

ZOTTI M., PAUTASSO M. (2013): Macrofungi in Mediterranean Quercus ilex woodlands: relations to vegetation structure, ecological gradients and higher-taxon approach.   [conservation biology, ectomycorrhiza (ECM), fungal diversity, multivariate analysis]  Czech Mycology 65(2): 193-218   (published: 20th December, 2013)
  abstract   Few studies have investigated the relationships between mycodiversity and plant communities in Quercus ilex (holm oak) woodlands. These are unique ecosystems in the Mediterranean basin of high mycological importance. The macrofungi of Q. ilex forests in Liguria, North-Western Italy, were studied: 246 species were observed in 15 permanent plots over four years. Some species were identified as typical of holm oak woodlands, e.g. Hygrophorus russula, Leccinellum lepidum, and Lactarius atlanticus.Correspondence analysis (CA) showed that the main ecological gradients shaping the fungal and plant communities are driven by soil pH and climatic factors. The CA confirms that the minimum sampling area for macrofungi is larger than for plant communities and that aggregation of multiple plots is suitable for data analysis. The data suggest that the higher-taxon approach can be successfully applied also to Q. ilex macrofungi, not only for total species and genus richness, but also within abundance classes. Further investigations are required to better characterise the mycodiversity of Mediterranean holm oak woodlands in relation to human impacts over various scales to plan effective conservation strategies.

INSUMRAN Y., KLINHOM U., PRAMUAL P. (2012): Variability of internal transcribed spacer ribosomal DNA sequences of Fuscoporia gilva and Fuscoporia sp. in Thailand.   [Fuscoporia, Internal Transcribed Spacer, medicinal mushroom, Hymenochaetales]  Czech Mycology 64(1): 55-64   (published: 2nd July, 2012)
  abstract   The objectives of this study were to examine genetic variation based on the ITS region of the ribosomal RNA gene sequences of Fuscoporia sp. and F. gilva from Thailand. Considerable levels of genetic variation were found in the Thai samples. The mean intraspecific genetic divergence was 5.74 % for Fuscoporia sp. and 5.33 % for F. gilva, indicating that they might be composed of several genetically distinct species. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that Fuscoporia sp. from Thailand was genetically related to F. callimorpha and F. senex. However, comparisons of the morphological characters and the level of genetic divergence indicated that they were different taxa. Two divergence lineages among Thai Fuscoporia sp. associated with host species preference were found. This finding could indicate the role of host association in genetic divergence and probably speciation. Fuscoporia gilva from Thailand was clustered with conspecific species from other geographic regions. Nonetheless, levels of genetic differentiation are highly consistent with their divergent phylogenetic clades. This indicates that specimens from Thailand might represent genetically distinct species. Further study using other genes and an in-depth morphological analysis would be needed to clarify the species status of these important mushrooms.

Nineteen species are accepted, 63 species are reduced to synonymy, the types of 19 species could not be found, while two names are illegitimate. Two new combinations are proposed: Tyromyces aquosus (Henn.) Ryvarden and Diplomitoporus daedaleiformis (Henn.) Ryvarden. These two species are provided with descriptions, while published recent descriptions are referred to for the other 17 accepted species.

ADAMČÍK S., CHRISTENSEN M., HEILMANN-CLAUSEN J., WALLEYN R. (2007): Fungal diversity in the Poloniny National Park with emphasis on indicator species of conservation value of beech forests in Europe.   [wood-inhabiting fungi, indicator species, beech forests, biodiversity, Slovakia, macromycetes]  Czech Mycology 59(1): 67-81   (published: 28th June, 2007)
  abstract   This paper lists recent finds of macrofungi from the Poloniny National Park in Slovakia. The list contains data on the occurrence of 62 taxa of macrofungi, 35 of which are new to Poloniny, and 15 have not previously been recorded from Slovakia. Additionally, 17 rare species generally considered as threatened in large parts of Europe were found. The study increases the number of fungal indicator species proposed for assessment of the conservation value of European beech forests known from selected nature reserves in Poloniny. The results of this study combined with previously published data shows that Stužica and Rožok National Nature Reserves are the sites with the highest number of these indicator species in Europe.

In total 32 researchers from the Czech and Slovak Republics took part in the colloquium and discussed various topics important for the further development of experimental mycology. Abstracts of the contributions are given here.

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.

  abstract   A set of cultures of wood-degrading Basidiomycetes was screened for the ability to decolorize model synthetic dyes with the aim of selecting strains with the highest activities of ligninolytic enzymes. Four decolorization patterns were observed; some species possessed no decolorizing ability, some decolorized on all the media, some decolorized only when fully grown, and only apart of them followed a typical behaviour described in Phanerochaete chrysosporium Burds., i.e. decolorized only on nutrient limited media. The strains with the highest decolorizing capabilities will be further studied with respect to biodegradation of aromatic organopollutants.

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.
