New localities of Battarrea phalloides (Basidiomycota) in Bulgaria

Abstract

Battarrea phalloides, a rarely found basidiomycete which is included in the Red List of fungi in Bulgaria and also in the Red Data Book of the Republic of Bulgaria with threat status EN B2a(i,ii,iv), has been recorded in two new localities in Eastern Bulgaria near to the Black Sea coastal region. The paper provides data on macro- and microscopic description of the basidiomata, coordinates, and map of distribution of the fungus in Bulgaria.
