Macromycetes in the communities of Scheuchzerio-Caricetea nigrae in the Pomerania region (NW Poland)

Abstract

The paper presents results of mycocoenological studies conducted in 7 peat-bogs located mainly in the western part of Pomerania. The research was carried out in 1999-2000 within patches of 4 plant associations: Caricetum lasiocaipae, Caricetum limosae, Rhynchosporetum albae and Eriophoro angustifolii-Sphagnetum recurvii. Regarding floristic and mycological aspects, the communities studied consist of low number of species. The group of fungal specics which formed synusia characteristic of peat-bog communities was clearly distinguished, among them the taxa connected with Sphagnum spp.
