... Coprinopsis is a large genus with close to 200 species found worldwide on soil, wood, plant debris, and dung (Lebel et al. 2022;Redhead et al. 2001). Although occurrences are not all confirmed with genetic data, Coprinopsis laanii has previously been documented on cut tree stumps, wood chips, and fallen and rotted wood in Finland, Slovakia, Germany, Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Scotland, Spain, and Sri Lanka but is considered rare (Kits van Waveren 1968;Runge 1986;Ódor et al. 2001;Denchev et al. 2007;Fernando 2009;Oosterbaan et al. 2009;Arrillaga et al. 2011;Adamčík et al. 2016;Von Bonsdorff et al. 2016;Gierczyk et al. 2017;Vandekerkhove et al. 2018;Watling and Riddiford 2021).

Fungi are important decomposers of organic material, including animal waste. Ammonia and postputrefaction fungi grow in soil enriched in ammonium and nitrogen from carcasses. In 2014, we observed mushrooms fruiting on the flesh of a dead muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) in an abandoned underground copper mine in southeastern New Brunswick, Canada. We placed an adult beaver (Castor canadensis) carcass near the muskrat to facilitate fungal colonization and fruiting. The beaver carcass was colonized by a variety of molds, especially Acaulium caviariforme. We observed mushrooms of an unidentified copriniid on the flesh 6 years and 9 months after carcass placement. Using morphological and molecular (nuclear internal transcribed spacer [nrITS]) data, we identified the mushrooms as Coprinopsis laanii, a rarely encountered species generally considered lignicolous. We discuss the role of C. laanii, and other postputrefaction fungi, in cave environments.

... However, knowledge about the role of disturbances in the regeneration of forest ecosystems is still incomplete (Obidziński, 2001;Szwagrzyk, 2000;Szwagrzyk et al., 2018). e importance of disturbances for biodiversity, including species diversity, was confirmed by studies of mycobiota in the areas damaged by fire, where many species new to Kampinos National Park (KNP) in central Poland were found (Gierczyk et al., 2017;. Studies of various groups of spore organisms (fungi, lichens, and bryophytes) on windthrown trees have provided new data on the diversity and ecology of these organisms in KNP (Zaniewski & Fojcik, 2020;Zaniewski et al., 2019). ...

Seventeen of these species were found during studies on wind-damaged areas after the forest was damaged in 2017. One species new to Poland has been described and illustrated ( Odonticium septocystidiatum ). A few of the species recorded ( Ciliolarina cfr. laricina , Daldinia petriniae , Pseudovalsa umbonata , Spongipellis litschaueri ) are very rare in Poland and hitherto mentioned from single localities in the country. Two species from the Polish red list of macrofungi were recorded in the Kampinos National Park for the first time – namely, Punctularia strigosozonata (E) and Trichaptum biforme (R). The current number of macromycete taxa known from Kampinos National Park has reached a total of 1,630.
... Diplodia sapinea) causing Diplodia tip blight (shoot dieback of conifers) (Fig. 5c) is also a relevant example of fungus which can change its lifestyle from endophytic to pathogenic when climatic conditions change with precipitation deficits and increased temperatures. The mentioned climatic conditions that weaken trees, together with the properties of S. sapinea, probably are largely responsible for its rapid spread and increasing coniferous forest health problems in Northern and Central Europe (Fabre et al. 2011;Brodde et al. 2019;CABI 2019;Sierota et al. 2019;Bußkamp et al. 2020;Szczepkowski et al. 2021). ...
Drought in the forest is not only a prolonged state of water shortage, but also an occasion where interactions between plants and fungi are affected. Water efficiency accelerates a range of pathologies in interactions between organisms, influencing the ecosystems and their interacting biological components. This study focuses on the role of mycorrhizal and endophyte fungi in alleviating the effects of soil water shortage, and on the impact of their altered activity during drought on the health of trees. The issues presented here show the fundamental role of the mycorrhizal mycelium and the mechanism of water transport to the plant in the course of other phenomena (withering, pathogenesis, endophytes biology) that occur in trees under influence of drought, with particular attention on managed coniferous stands. Conclusions resulting from published information on this topic emphasize the negative impact of soil moisture deficiency on the ectomycorrhizal fungi functioning and, in contrast, on the promotion of the growth of some endophytes, pathogens and hemi-parasitic mistletoes ( Viscum spp.).
... They are characterized by a great richness of mycobiota (Gierczyk et al., 2009;Halama & Romański, 2010;Karasiński et al., 2015;Kujawa et al., 2012Kujawa et al., , 2015Ławrynowicz, 2012;Ruszkiewicz-Michalska et al., 2015;Wojewoda et al., 2016). The specificity in the appearance of fruiting bodies means that subsequent years of research will still provide new data on macromycetes of the studied area (e.g., Gierczyk et al., 2017, Gierczyk, Szczepkowski, et al., 2019a, 2019bGrzesiak et al., 2017). This is also reflected in the case of the Wolin National Park (WNP). ...
The paper contains results of mycological examinations conducted in the Wolin National Park from May to October 2017, and data previously unpublished. Exploration was carried out using the route method in the whole Park, with particular emphasis on its western part. The paper includes 205 taxa (25 from Ascomycota and 180 from Basidiomycota), including 32 new ones for the Wolin National Park. Among the identified taxa, 17 were threatened. The endangered species (Category E) were represented by Aleurodiscus disciformis , Calcipostia guttulata , and Geastrum triplex , the vulnerable species (V) included Inocybe grammata , Inocutis rheades , and Xylobolus frustulatus , and the rare species (R) consisted of 10 taxa, including Helvella lacunosa , Gloeoporus taxicola , Mycena crocata , Plicaturopsis crispa , and Pseudomerulius aureus . Some species are known only from a few sites in Poland, e.g., Hohenbuehelia auriscalpium and C. guttulata . Currently, the number of macromycetes species known from the Wolin National Park is 508.
... Peziza echinospora has been reported as restricted to post-fire soils (Egger 1986) and was collected from Apr to Jul 2017, 5 to 8 mo after the Chimney Tops 2 fire, on well-burned ground in hardwood forests. This is putatively a cosmopolitan species with collections under this name observed as early successional from fire zones worldwide (Egger 1986;Lisiewska 1992;McMullan-Fisher et al. 2002;Ratkowsky and Gates 2009;Gierczyk et al. 2017). ...
... (burn intensity: low to medium, category 1). Plicaria is a small genus of mostly pyrophilous fungi (Gierczyk et al. 2017) characterized by small, dark brown cupulate to discoid apothecia, asci having a strong apical amyloid reaction, and brown spherical to ovoid ascospores with several guttules. Ascospore walls may be smooth or ornamented: warted or reticulate (Korf 1973). ...
... Coprinellus angulatus (burn intensity: severe, category 1).

In this study, it was collected on severely burned soil at sites in Baskins Creek and Twin Creeks, and in severe burn patches within the medium burn site at the Sugarlands Spur area, between Apr and Oct 2017 (5-11 mo post fire) but not thereafter. ...
Following a late fall wildfire in 2016 in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, pyrophilous fungi in burn zones were documented over a 2-y period with respect to burn severity and phenology. Nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 = ITS) barcodes were obtained to confirm morphological evaluations. Forty-one taxa of Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were identified from burn sites and categorized as fruiting only in response to fire or fruiting enhanced by fire. Twenty-two species of Pezizales (Ascomycota) were among the earliest to form ascomata in severe burn zones, only one of which had previously been documented in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Nineteen species of Basidiomycota, primarily Agaricales, were also documented. Among these, only five species (Coprinellus angulatus, Gymnopilus decipiens, Lyophyllum anthracophilum, Pholiota carbonicola, and Psathyrella pennata) were considered to be obligate pyrophilous taxa, but fruiting of two additional taxa (Hygrocybe conica and Mycena galericulata) was clearly enhanced by fire. Laccaria trichodermophora was an early colonizer of severe burn sites and persisted through the winter of 2017 and into spring and summer of 2018, often appearing in close association with Pinus pungens seedlings. Fruiting of pyrophilous fungi peaked 4–6 mo post fire then diminished, but some continued to fruit up to 2.5 y after the fire. In all, a total of 27 previously unrecorded taxa were added to the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) database (~0.9%). Most pyrophilous fungi identified in this study are either cosmopolitan or have a Northern Hemisphere distribution, but cryptic endemic lineages were detected in Anthracobia and Sphaerosporella. One new combination, Hygrocybe spadicea var. spadicea f. odora, is proposed.

Buglossoporus quercinus is widely distributed across Europe, within the range of Quercus robur. Throughout the area, in which it appears, it is rare or very rare. B. quercinus is associated with large old oaks (Quercus, usually Q. robur), whose numbers are decreasing due to ongoing changes in the environment. It was added to the Red Lists of fungi in a number of countries, along with awaiting inclusion in the IUCN Red List. In this study we have critically analysed the existing data on the occurrence of B. quercinus in Poland. We have presented two new localities of the species in Poland, as well as new records in the Białowieża National Park, the only place, where this species had been previously recorded in Poland. Selected trees and logs inhabited by B. quercinus were characterized. We have indicated the number of observed basidiomata, their phenology, and the sizes of the largest specimens. We have identified eight fungal species (Bisporella citrina, Daedalea quercina, Hapalopilus croceus, Hymenochaete rubiginosa, Laetiporus sulphureus, Mycena galericulata, M. inclinata, Xylobolus frustulatus) that coexist with B. quercinus. Based on the new distribution data for B. quercinus in Poland, this species should be classified as Endangered (EN) according to the IUCN Red List criteria.

Continuation of the mycological study of the fire-damaged pine forest in Kampinos National Park in central Poland in 2017 produced interesting new findings. Among the taxa collected, 36 were new to the park, six had not been hitherto reported from Poland ( Calycellina araneocincta , Ciliolarina aff. laetifica , Clitocybe metachroides , Galerina cerina f. longicystis , Parasola cuniculorum , Pleonectria pinicola ), and the previous status of one taxon ( Pleonectria cucurbitula ) had been uncertain. Short descriptions based on collected specimens have been prepared for all taxa new to Poland. The current number of taxa of macromycetes identified in Kampinos National Park has reached 1,604.
... The highest value of JI was calculated to be 20 (Yaseen et al., 2016), followed by 17.07 (Hobbs, 1995) and 17.02 (Ramos, 2015). However calculated lowest JI value was 0.75, followed by 1.26 (Deng, 2014 andGierczyk et al., 2017). From this comparison, it could be calculated that more similarities mean the sharing of same flora and cross-cultural exchange of medicinal mushrooms knowledge in the past. ...
Background
The chief aim of this study was to enlist the ethnopharmacological aspect of mushrooms from four Provinces of Pakistan. Due to the seasonal variation and extreme geographical conditions, Pakistan has great mushroom diversity. Mushrooms have been used by the indigenous people for the treatment of different ailments in many regions of Pakistan. They still depend on the mushrooms for treatment of various ailments. Moreover, mushrooms are used as first aid to treat cold, cough, influenza, asthma, cancer, gastric and hepatic disorders. Traditional uses of medicinal mushrooms lead to the discovery of alternative source of synthetic medicines. This is basically the first quantitative ethnopharmcological documentation of medicinal mushrooms from Pakistan.
Materials and Method
Ethnopharmacological information was collected from the 950 informants including male and female. The informative data was based on semi-structured interviews, group discussions, and field visits. Data was analyzed by applying different quantitative indices such as informant consent factor (ICF), Use value (UV), Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC), the Fidelity level (FL) and Jaccard Index (JI).
Result
Almost 50 mushrooms belonging to 24 families were reported. Most-frequently cited families were Agaricaceae (13 species) and Morchellaceae (5 species). Extract was the common mode of preparation reported (63.33%), followed by Powder (36.67%). Mostly these medicinal mushrooms were present as wild (62.90%), followed by cultivated (37.10%). Among all 11.75% mushrooms were toxic and inedible, 75% were nontoxic, whereas the remaining 13.46% may be toxic or nontoxic because of their dual attitude. New medicinal uses of 23 mushrooms were explored in this study.
Conclusion
This ethnopharmacological documentation revealed that the mushrooms are still used by natives of rural area in their day-to-day lives. This study provides the basis for the conservation of mushrooms. Mushrooms with high ICF, UV and FL were further used for phytochemical and pharmacological studies. This documentation is baseline information which can be used to develop new mushroom-based medicines.
... Its dune belts and marshy lands, resulting from the presence of a complex of inland dunes, contribute to the preservation of the mosaic environment (Zgorzelski and Pawłowska 2003). The area contains rare plants (Głowacki and Ferchmin 2003), fungi (Karasiński et al. 2015;Gierczyk et al. 2017), birds (Pepłowska-Marczak 2018) and invertebrates (Marczak 2010;Marczak and Masiarz 2013). Due to the topography and location of this area, numerous species use it as a refuge. ...

The Kampinos National Park (KNP), in terms of ecology, is an exceptionally valuable place in the Polish lowland region. Until the 20th century, as a result of limited human influence on the natural resources of the Kampinos Forest, it can be presumed that the 100-year-old tree stands were shaped by natural ecological processes. This study contains a detailed assessment of crown conditions, dendrometric measurements and visible disease symptoms in the oldest fragments of the KNP, as well as statistical evaluation of the relationships between these factors. Results were correlated with ecological factors such as precipitation and temperature. For the purpose of the study, five tree stands, each over 130 years old, were selected. In each stand, the level of defoliation was assessed, based on the forest monitoring methodology performed in Poland for the State Environmental Monitoring. Tree height, circumference, and diameter at breast height measurements were performed for all the trees, and any visible disease symptoms were described. Defoliation data were used to classify 93.6% of the trees as the second level of stand damage (the so-called 'warning' level) according to the monitoring methodology. Observed disease factors confirm the physiological weakening of the trees. The populations studied exhibited a range of mean height and stem volume, and these were not significantly related to the level of defoliation or visible disease symptoms. Ecological factors, especially the drought in 2015, probably did not have a negative impact on the examined stands. The analysed pine populations demonstrate physiological weakness, but this appears to be related to their age and natural ecological processes.
