Abstract

Data on the diversity of boletoid fungi of the Bidoup – Nui Ba National Park are presented here and analyzed. An annotated list of 13 species are published for the first time for the National Park and 8 for the first time for Vietnam (Porphyrellus nigropurpureus, Phylloporus pachycystidiatus, Ph. rubiginosus, Pulveroboletus brunneopunctatus, Strobilomyces brunneolepidotus, S. calidus, Veloporphyrellus pseudovelatus, Xerocomus subparvus). Among plant communities of the National Park the mountain evergreen coniferous-broad-leaved forests dominated by Fagaceae, Lauraceae and Magnoliaceae and with the participation of representatives of Podocarpaceae and Pinaceae are characterized by the highest diversity of boletoid fungi. The species are illustrated with color photographs. The nucleotide sequences obtained during the study were deposited in NCBI GenBank.

Highlights

Boletoid fungi due to well-developed mycelium and more or less large basidiomata play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, forming mycorrhizal associations with forest-forming tree species of more than 10 families, including Dipterocarpaceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae, and Pinaceae, improving their nutrition and growth, increasing resistance to adverse environmental influences, as well as participating in the decomposition of organic matter (Thoen, Bâ, 1989; Sato et al, 2007; Becerra, Zak 2011)
The aim of the present work was to study the diversity of boletoid fungi in the Bidoup – Nui Ba National Park, located in the central part of the Dalat Plateau
The study of the fungal diversity of typical tropical forests complements the information on the biota of macromycetes in Vietnam and may be useful in the development of measures for the conservation of these valuable nature areas and species inhabiting them
