Malanyuk V. Agaricoid and boletoid fungi of Halych National Nature Park

The dissertation presents the results of the study on diversity, ecology, phenology and conservation of agaricoid and boletoid fungi in Halych National Nature Park. The species composition, ecological-trophic structure are defined, regularities of seasonal dynamics, practical significance and distribution of the fungial species composition in the main plant communities of the park are investigated. During the study it was recorded 503 species of Agaricomycetes were recorded, which belong to 6 orders, 37 families and 140 genera. All listed species of fungi have been recorded for the first time for Halych National Nature Park, of them 50 species were newly reported for Ukraine. According to our observations the highest diversity of fungi is typical for oak-hornbeam forests. Mixed deciduous and coniferous forests also provide important habitats for agaricoid and boletoid fungi. Over 45% of fungial species on the territory of Halych National Nature Park are associated with forest ecosystems and form mycorrhiza. Fructification of the fungi was recorded all year round except winter. However, the highest diversity of fruit bodies of agaricoid and boletoid Fungi (over 300 species) was recorded in September. The study of fungial diversity within 18 permanent sample plots introduced in different types of forests ecosystems demonstrated that the most diverse species composition is typical for mixed deciduous and coniferous forests. Willow forests support the lowest fungial diversity. Seven species of the found fungi are listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine.
