Notes on the fungal diversity in the Botanical Garden of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Apstrakt

Over the past three years, initial mycological studies have been carried out in the Botanical Garden of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a result of these sporadic surveys, 22 different species of fungi were found, including Octospora pseudoampezzana, Xylaria oxyacanthae, Orbilia carpoboloides and Calathella eruciformis, which were recorded for the first time in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this study is to initiate scientific research on fungal occurrence and diversity in this urban floral oasis and thus also to improve national knowledge about the fungal species that inhabit such anthropogenic habitats. This work can also serve as an additional argument to emphasise the importance of botanical gardens in urban areas, and their contribution to the diversity of mycobiota in anthropogenic habitats in general.
