Non-poroid aphyllophoraceous fungi proposed to the third edition of the Red Data Book of Belarus

Abstract

Twelve species of aphyllophoroid fungi are regarded as candidates to the nearest new edition of the Red Data Book of Belarus Republic. The criteria for their selection were very limited populations in the republic, confining of the species to reducing types of communities, sensitivity to anthropogenic effect, and rare distribution in other European countries. Eleven species are provided by original morphological diagnoses based on specimens collected in Belarus and illustrations of micromorphological structures. Besides, black-white photos of fruitbodies of seven species are adduced. Twenty-six other aphyllophoroid species are listed as perspective objects of conservation in future.
