| dc.description.abstract | A list of lignicolous and terricolous fungi recorded on Dragoica mountain ridge is given in this article. Here are presented a total of 169 species, mainly from Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, and the largest part of them belong to the orders: Agaricales, Boletales, Hymenochaetales, Polyporales and Russulales. Of these fungi 76 species are reported for the first time from the Forebalkan floristic region, and for 93 species are reported new localities from the Forebalkan floristic region. Eight (8) species includes in the Red List of Fungi in Bulgaria: Agaricus macrocarpus, Amanita caesarea, A. vittadinii, Discina ancilis, Hericium coralloides, Lenzites warnieri, Tuber aestivum and Tulostoma fimbriatum. The research was conducted in different habitats: beech-oak forest, oak forest, beech- hornbeam forest, azonal vegetation and the shrubs along the Batulska river, Panega river and Malki Iskar river, in meadows and pastures. Of the fungi species registered, 95 are lignicolous and 74 are terricolous. Most of lignicolous species are saprobionts (80) and 15 species are parasites. From terricolous fungi, there are 44 mycorrhizal and 30 saprobionts. Some of the species such as Clavaria fumosa, Geastrum schmidelii, Hygrocybe punicea, Leccinum quercinum, Mycena aetites, M. bulbosa, Lepiota erminea and Vuilleminia cystidiata could be highlighted as rare. Other species such as Armillaria mellea, Bovista plumbea, Lactarius piperatus, Cantharellus cibarius, Marasmius oreades, Russula cyanoxantha, Trametes hirsuta, Xerulla radicata, etc. are abundant in certain periods of the year. The xerothermic species – Leucopaxillus lepistoides deserve special attention. | |
