Abstract


The Republic of Serbia is one of the few European countries without a national database of recorded fungal species, so documenting and publishing data on fungal diversity is of outmost importance for our country. The presence of fungal specimens of Tara Mountain was examined in the following localities: Mitrovac, Predov Krst, Kaludjerske Bare and Zaovine at each site in summer and autumn during 2021 and 2022. A total of 320 taxa of fungi were recorded during this period, 10 of them are included in the Serbian List of Protected Wild Species of Fungi: Boletus edulis, B. reticulatus, Cantharellus cibarius, Craterellus cornucopioides, Hydnum repandum, Lactarius deliciosus, L. deterrimus, L. salmonicolor, Marasmius oreades and Russula cyanoxantha, while three species: Hericium flagellum, H. coralloides and Psilocybe serbica are listed in the Serbian List of Strictly Protected Wild Specis of Fungi. Also, 38 species are indentified as an indicator species of old and preserved forests. The highest species diversity was founded in Mitrovac.
