Contribution to knowledge of fungal biota of Kampinos National Park (Poland): part 3

Abstract

We present interesting findings from the final year (2018) of the project concerning fungi in the fire-damaged forests in Kampinos National Park (central Poland). Seven taxa have been collected which are new to the park, one species (<em>Scutellinia patagonica</em>) hitherto unrecorded in Poland has been found. The current number of macromycetes taxa known from Kampinos National Park has reached 1,611.

Fungi of the Wolin National Park – New Data on Macromycetes

“…In terms of the number of identified taxa, the WNP is only slightly inferior to the Bory Tucholskie National Park (517) (Grzesiak et al, 2017). National parks located in other regions of Poland are much richer in species of fungi, e.g., the Białowieża National Park (1585) (Karasiński et al, 2010, as cited in Karasiński et al, 2015, and the Kampinos National Park (1,611) (Gierczyk, Szczepkowski, et al, 2019a). Differences in the number of species observed between the WNP and other national parks are related, inter alia, to the duration and intensity of mycological research, as well as to the size of objects, the diversity of ecosystems, and the plant communities.…”

“…They are characterized by a great richness of mycobiota (Gierczyk et al, 2009;Halama & Romański, 2010;Karasiński et al, 2015;Kujawa et al, 2012Kujawa et al, , 2015Ławrynowicz, 2012;Ruszkiewicz-Michalska et al, 2015;Wojewoda et al, 2016). The specificity in the appearance of fruiting bodies means that subsequent years of research will still provide new data on macromycetes of the studied area (e.g., Gierczyk et al, 2017, Gierczyk, Szczepkowski, et al, 2019a, 2019bGrzesiak et al, 2017). This is also reflected in the case of the Wolin National Park (WNP).…”
