Parasitic and saprotrophic fungi from Słowińki National Park

Abstract

In the years 1996 - 1997, the occurrence of parasitic and saprotrophic fungi was investigated in Słowiński National Park. A total of 209 plant species belonging to 37 families were studied, from which 270 species of fungi were isolate. The fungi most numerously represented were members of the Deuteromycotina, which occurred in 36% of the samples investigated. The members of the Basidiomycotina were found in 23% of the samples. Of the fungi recovered, many were quite rarely recorded in Poland. Schyzothyrioma ptarmicae found to be associated hitherto with Achillea ptarmica is a species new to the communities of fungi of Poland.
