Abstract

Wielkopolski National Park is a protected area located in central Wielkopolska, near Poznań City, and is an important refuge to numerous valuable species of plants, fungi, and animals. Through 2019, the project to recognize and catalog the macromycetes of this Park was continued. The current paper presents the results of these studies in the form of an annotated list of the recorded species. One hundred and eighty-nine taxa new for Wielkopolski National Park have been identified. Among these, nine are new to Poland (Acanthophysellum lividocoeruleum, Agaricus moellerianus, Callistosporium luteo-olivaceum, Entoloma terreum, Flammulina populicola, Leucoagaricus sublittoralis, Marasmius anomalus var. microsporus, Phaeohelotium rufescens, and Tulasnella danica). The current number of fungal taxa found in this park is 1,122.

Highlights

This article is a continuation of our previously published contribution to the mycobiota of Wielkopolski National Park (WPN), which is one of two national parks located within the borders of the Wielkopolska region
The taxa recorded in 2018 (312) included 140 that were new to WPN, 26 that were new to the Wielkopolska region, and five that had hitherto not been reported in Poland (Gierczyk & Kujawa, 2020)
Many taxa have been confirmed for the first time in WPN almost 90 years since they were observed in the park

Summary

Introduction

This article is a continuation of our previously published contribution to the mycobiota of Wielkopolski National Park (WPN), which is one of two national parks located within the borders of the Wielkopolska region. A general description of the study area and the history of mycological studies in WPN has been briefly described in the first part of this paper (Gierczyk & Kujawa, 2020). At the close of the first year of this study, the number of fungal taxa in the WPN had reached 975. The taxa recorded in 2018 (312) included 140 that were new to WPN, 26 that were new to the Wielkopolska region, and five that had hitherto not been reported in Poland (Gierczyk & Kujawa, 2020). The purpose of this study was to present new mycological data for the WPN
