Abstract

The paper provides the first information about the mycobiota of 1-8 quarters of Nadvirna forestry, located on the slopes of Horodyshche (598 m above sea level) and Potoky (584 m above sea level) mountains. As a result of the conducted researches on the territory of the forestry there were revealed 107 species of fungi and fungi-like organisms belonging to 92 genera, 49 families, 21 orders, 7 classes and 3 divisions. All the species are listed for the study area for the first time. Particular attention was paid to wood-inhabiting fungi, of which most of the species (68) were recorded on wood of European beech. Seven species (Butyriboletus appendiculatus (Schaeff.) D.Arora & J.L.Frank, Clathrus archeri (Berk.) Dring, Hericium cirrhatum (Pers.) Nikol., Hericium coralloides (Scop.) Pers., Ischnoderma resinosum (Schrad.) P. Karst., Mutinus caninus (Huds.) Fr., Strobilomyces strobilaceus (Scop.) Berk.) appeared to be rare for the study area and the territory of Ukraine as a whole. Four of them (Clathrus archeri, Hericium coralloides, Mutinus caninus, Strobilomyces strobilaceus) are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine and three species (Butyriboletus appendiculatus, Hericium cirrhatum and Ischnoderma resinosum) being recorded with the European Red List and red lists of other countries. Hericium cirrhatum and Ischnoderma resinosum are indicator species of phytocenoses that are of conservation value. Upon finding the rare and sozologically valuable species of fungi, indicating the significant conservation value of the surveyed phytocenoses, and the increase of anthropogenic pressure on the studied forest, the expediency of expanding the existing network of protected areas, strengthening the conservation regime and control over its observance is substantiated. As the surveyed area is characterized by a significant variety of not only mycological but also botanical, zoological and geological objects in need of protection, it is proposed to create a regional landscape park “Nadvirnianskyi lis” throughout the massif, which will protect a large part of the Hvizd structural-erosive low mountain massif, which combines the features of both Pre-Carpathian and Mountain Carpathian landscape complexes.
