“…The majority of the Polish population of the fungus is concentrated in the Góry Świętokrzyskie Mts. and areas directly adjacent to them (ŁUSZCZYŃSKI 2000b(ŁUSZCZYŃSKI , c, 2004aCHLEBICKI & ŁUSZCZYŃSKI 2002;PIĘTKA & SZCZEPKOWSKI 2004). The species' greatest subpopulation develops on Chełmowa Góra Mt in the Świętokrzyski National Park.…”

“…The former is a mycorrhizal fungus, the latter is a parasite. Fomitopsis offi cinalis is a particular example of a disappearing relict associated exclusively with old larches (ŁUSZCZYŃSKI 2000b;CHLE-BICKI & ŁUSZCZYŃSKI 2002;PIĘTKA & SZCZEPKOWSKI 2004). Cortinarius violaceus is known in Poland from between ten and twenty localities but most of them have already become historical and are 19 th -century sites.…”

Mycocoenological studies were conducted at 77 permanent research plots established in 14 leading forest communities and in three non-forest communities in the Góry Świętokrzyskie Mts. The greatest numbers of Basidiomycetes were recorded in phytocoenoses in the following plant communities: Tilio-Carpinetum (393 species), Querco-Pinetum (292 species) and Dentario glandulosae-Fagetum (268 species). Saprobionts dominated the mycobiota of the forest communities (593 species, that is 57% of the total number of species), including 332 species of pedobionts (32%), 251 species of xylobionts (24%) and 10 species of allobionts (0.9%). Furthermore, 375 species of mycorrhizal fungi (36% of the total number of the recorded species) and 59 species of parasites (6% of the total number of the mycobiota studied) were recorded.The current species composition of Basidiomycetes in the Góry Świętokrzyskie Mts. has been influenced by the location of the area in relation to the adjacent geographical regions, climatic conditions, natural topography, geological structure and plant cover as well as human economy. Abies alba, Acer pseudoplatanus, Fagus sylvatica, Larix decidua ssp. polonica and Picea abies, which encourage the development of mountain fungi, influence the biota of Basidiomycetes in particular. The occurrence of 87 species of the mountain element sensu lato was recorded. Trophic relationships between Basidiomycetes and 34 species of vascular plants as well as 11 genera of mosses were analysed. The most numerous groups of fungi accompany pine trees (114 species), beech trees (105 species), fir trees (102 species) and oak trees (100 species). Despite significant damage, well-preserved and fairly intact forest areas are still found in the Góry Świętokrzyskie Mts. They now serve as refugia of Albatrellus confluens, Bankera fuligineoalba, Fomitopsis officinalis, Hericium coralloides, H. flagellum, Pycnoporellus fulgens, Skeletocutis odora and S. stellae. Both natural and anthropogenic factors determine the changes of the mycological profile in the Góry Świętokrzyskie Mts. Some of the newly arrived Basidiomycetes have features of expansive species, for instance Clathrus archeri, Mutinus ravenelii and Psilocybe rugosoannulata.

“…Consequently, in Europe F. officinalis has been reported mostly from high mountains and subalpine regions, occasionally from uplands and lowlands (Piętka, Szczepkowski, 2004;Wojewoda, 2010;Dakskobler et al, 2011). It occurs almost exclusively in natural forests and is very uncommon in artificial plantations.…”

“…Its populations have dramatically declined in all European countries over the last centuries due to human activities. For example, in Poland F. officinalis was rather common until the 19 th century, while currently only six localities of the fungus remain, mostly in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains (Piętka, Szczepkowski, 2004;Łuszczyńska, Łuszczyński, 2009).…”

“…Due to their antimicrobial and antiviral activities, the fungal extracts have been continuously used by pharmacists in Europe over centuries. In the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries, its fruit bodies were extensively collected in large amounts for production of various natural medicines and for trade, primarily from Siberia (the Ural Mountains) and the Alps where the species was most common (Chlebicki et al, 2003;Piętka, Szczepkowski, 2004;Girometta, 2018).…”

Hayova V.P., Heluta V.P., Shevchenko M.V. 2019. Fomitopsis officinalis (Polyporales): are there any records of the fungus known from Ukraine? Ukrainian Botanical Journal, 77(1): 40-43. Abstract. Fomitopsis officinalis is listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine as an extinct species. According to the data published therein on its former distribution in Ukraine, the species was reported in Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv regions in the first half of the 20 th century. However, our analysis of the bibliographic references listed for this species has revealed no records of the fungus in the country. The article provides a brief overview of the published literature sources used as a basis for its red-listing on the national level. Most probably the information on the occurrence of F. officinalis in Ukraine derived from other countries where the fungus, particularly in the past, was most common and its fruit bodies were extensively collected. Since historical data on the occurrence of F. officinalis in Ukraine are highly doubtful, the species should be excluded from the Red Data Book of Ukraine.
