Abstract

The distribution of wood-inhabiting fungi, concentrating on some pileate polypores and agarics, based on the presence of basidiomes lying on the forest floor, on twigs, branches and standing dead spars at various forest reserves and plantation forests, was investigated. A total of 54 species assigned to 29 genera was recorded during the visits. Fewer fungi were recorded in plantation forests compared with forest reserves. Earliella scabrosa, Lenzites elegans, Microporus xanthopus, Pycnoporus sanguineus, Schizophyllum commune and Trametes feei
were amongst the wood-inhabiting fungi present at all sites examined.
