TAXONOMIC STRUCTURE OF THE MYCOBIOTA OF THE KAMENYSTYI PROTECTED AREA (NATIONAL NATURE PARK "HUTSULSHCHYNA")

Abstract

The article is dedicated to investigating of mycobiota in the Kamenystyi protected area (National Nature Park "Hutsulshchyna"). An analysis of the taxonomic structure of the studied areaʹs myco-biota has been conducted. A total of 251 species of fungi from 132 genera, 62 families, 17 orders, 5 classes, and 2 divisions of the Fungi kingdom were recorded. Among them, 9 species are included in the Red Book of Ukraine. The fungi in the studied area belong to orders Аscomycota and Basidiomycota. Among the Ascomycota fungi, 22 species from 17 genera, 14 families, 6 orders, and 3 classes were identified, while among the Basidiomycota, there were 229 species from 115 genera, 48 families, 11 orders, and 2 classes. The class Agaricomycetes was the most abundant in terms of species diversity with 228 species, followed by Pezizomycetes with 12 species, Leotiomycetes, and Sordariomycetes with 5 species each, and Dacrymycetes with only 1 species. An analysis of the taxonomic structure demonstrates the prevalence of four orders: Agaricales (124 species, 49.4% of the total species), Russulales (43, 17.1%), and Polyporales (23, 9.2%); 15 families: Russulaceae (34, 13.5%), Agaricaceae (16, 6.4%), Mycenaceae (14, 5.6%), Boletaceae, Polyporaceae (13 each, 5.2%), Cortinariaceae (12, 4.8%), Hydnaceae, Psathyrellaceae, Strophariaceae (8 each, 3.2%), Amanitaceae, Omphalotaceae (7 each, 2.8%), Hygrophoraceae, Inocybaceae, Marasmiaceae (6 each, 2.4%), Tricholomataceae (5, 2%); and 19 genera: Russula – 18 species (7.2%), Lactarius – 16 species (6.4%), Mycena – 14 species (5.6%), Cortinarius – 12 species (4.8%), Amanita – 7 species (2.8%), Clitocybe, Coprinopsis, Hygrophorus, Pluteus, Marasmius, Trametes, Tricholoma – 4 species each (1.6%), Cantharellus, Clavulina, Gymnopus, Hericium, Lycoperdon, Peziza, Pholiota – 3 species each (1,2%).
