Мacrofungi and lichen-forming fungi on the territory of Ibur reserve, Rila national park (Bulgaria)

Abstract

Data on the species diversity of macrofungi and lichen-forming fungi recorded in Ibur Reserve (Rila Mts) are presented in the paper. All taxa belong to Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. One species (Russula sphagnophila) is new for Bulgaria. Four macrofungi (Galerina paludosa, Lactarius sphagneti, Limacellopsis guttata and Mitrula paludosa) are of high conservation value, included in the Red List of fungi of Bulgaria. The lichen Nephromopsis chlorophylla is a rare species, known as an old-growth forest indicator.
