Autumn Fungi in the Bohemian Paradise

Lepšová A.

The Bohemian Paradise, the oldest Protected Landscape Area in Bohemia, is well-known for its labyrinth of rock towers and gorges. On some sites which still have remnants of forests with original composition of tree species, e.g. at the American Grotto or Bučiny near Rakousy, it is possible to find dozens of macroscopic fungi, including the rare and endangered ones, such as the pyrenomycete Camarops tubulina. Xylophagous fungi, growing on large, rotting fallen trunks of beech, oak, spruce and other trees, are present here in abundance.
