OCCURRENCE OF MACROSCOPIC FUNGI IN DIFFERENT FOREST TYPES IN THE FORESTRY RESEARCH CENTRE (FEPAGRO), SANTA MARIA, RS, BRAZIL
Abstract
The macroscopic fungi performance a important role in the maintenance of forest environments, and studies related with the identification of species are fundamental to the research progress. This study aimed to realize a survey the species diversity of wood decomposing fungi in populations of Pinus elliottii Engelm, Eucalyptus globulus Labill, Acacia mearnsii de Wild and natural forest, in State Foundation for Agricultural Research - FEPAGRO, Forestry Research Center, located in Santa Maria, RS. Were collected 53 samples of macroscopic fungi in four areas, being 16 samples in forest of P. Elliottii; 12 samples in forest of E. globulus, 12 samples in forest of A. mearnsii and 13 samples in of native forest. In the laboratory, five genera were identified to the species level: Fuligo septica (L.) F.H. Wigg, Gloeoporus dichrous (Fr.) Bress., Lycogala epidendrum (L.) Fr. e Trametes villosa (Sw.) Kreisel.
