The participation of macromycetes in selected forest communities of the Masurian Landscape Park (NE Poland)

Abstract

Results of mycosociological studies in selected forests communities of the Masurian Landscape Park between 1997 and 2000 are discussed. Observations were conducted in 8 permanent plots and 69 supplementary plots (400 m2). Five plant associations characteristic of the Masurian Landscape Park, Peucedano-Pinetum, Serratulo-Pinetum, Vaccinio uliginosi-Pinetum, Tilio-Carpinetum and Fraxino-Alnetum, were examined. A total of 335 macromycete species were recorded. The greatest number of species was observed in Tilio-Carpinetum (198).
