We assessed the diversity and composition of fungal communities in different functional tissues and the rhizosphere soil of Pinus sylvestris and Picea abies stands along the latitudinal gradient of these tree species distributions in Europe to model possible changes in fungal communities imposed by climate change. For each tree species, living need...
Bats are of high conservational status in most European countries. All bats are under legal protection in Ukraine and included in the national Red Data Book. However, bats remain one of the least studied groups of mammals in Ukraine. Their cryptic lifestyle limits the possibilities of direct observations and, as a result, data on bat distribution a...
The dataset represents a comprehensive collection of occurrence records concerning the genus Aconitum (Ranunculaceae) in the Ukrainian Carpathians and adjacent territories. It is based primarily on the results of critical revision of the main herbarium collections of the Carpathian region (i.e. LW, LWS, LWKS, KRA, KRAM, CHER, KW, UU and KWHU). Besi...
Agaricales is the largest order within the class Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota, Fungi). Most genera have a gilled (lamellate) basidiomata, though gasteroid, secotioid and cyphelloid fruit bodies also occur in several families and genera. Although gilled Agaricales (usually called "agarics") are the most investigated part of the Fungi, the last summ...

Questions
How many different silicicolous lichen syntaxa occur on the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield and what ecological factors are influencing their distribution?
Location
Ukrainian Crystalline Shield, Steppe and Forest–Steppe zones, Ukraine.
Methods
The field research was performed during 2013–2020. Analysis was done with the JUICE software usin...
Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. Here we used high‐resolution sequencing to assess endemicity patterns, global change vulnerability and conservation priority areas...
The dataset includes georeferenced occurrences of species listed in Annex I of Resolution 6 of the Bern Convention and, partly, in the Red Data Book of Ukraine. The dataset was compiled within the work of NGO "Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group" aimed to prepare a Shadow list of Emerald Network (European network Areas of Special Conservation Inter...
Fungi play pivotal roles in ecosystem functioning, but little is known about their global patterns of diversity, endemicity, vulnerability to global change drivers and conservation priority areas. We applied the high-resolution PacBio sequencing technique to identify fungi based on a long DNA marker that revealed a high proportion of hitherto unkno...
New records of four species of the genus Lepiota (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) are reported from Ukraine. Three species, L. fuscovinacea, L. griseovirens, and L. roseolivida, are recorded in Ukraine for the first time, whereas a poorly known species, L. subalba, earlier known in Ukraine from a few records, is confirmed using molecular identification...
6173,03 га. Досліджені нагірні діброви, бори надзаплавної тераси та заплава р. Уди є елементами типового ландшафту Слобідської України. У заплаві представлені луки значної площі та вільшняки у вологих притерасних зниженнях, суходільні луки, приурочені до узлісь та перелогів. Загалом на досліджуваній території представлено 17 зникаючих природних осе...
Pleurotus calyptratus is a wood-inhabiting oyster mushroom associated with Populus tremula and P. alba. This fungus is rather common in Ukraine, but considered rare in many other European countries. Aiming to find causes for variation in rarity, we conducted habitat mapping and repeated surveys to understand the substrate requirements and fruiting...
Перший випуск цієї серії містить результати ботанічних, мікологічних та зоологічних досліджень, що здійснювалися на території Ржищівської міської об’єднаної територіальної громади на базі Екологічної дослідницької станції «Глибокі Балики» у перший рік її функціонування. Одним із ключових завдань цієї роботи є створення прецеденту ґрунтовної інвента...
Hygrophoraceae is a family within Agaricales, which comprises 26 genera and approximately 690 agaricoid species, including ectomycorrhizal, lichen-forming, bryophilous, humus and litter decomposing fungi. Some of these species especially those from genera Cuphophyllus, Hygrocybe, Neohygrocybe and Porpolomopsis are associated with natural grasslands...
Background Pleurotus calyptratus is a wood-inhabiting oyster mushroom which produces fruiting bodies on logs, stumps and branches of both dead and living Populus tremula and P. alba. Easily recognisable in the field fruit bodies and strict and steady fruiting period make this species an attractive model object for investigations of ecology of wood-...

Aspen (Populus tremula) stands are usually considered by both forest managers and conservationists as a low-value, transitional forest type. This widespread tree thrives after forest damages (e.g. clear-cuttings, wildfires), resulting in a fact that forest management has become a main driver for aspen distribution in Eastern Europe.
But are aspen s...
Fungi are widely used as surrogate species to evaluate and declare “conservational value” of forest areas in Europe (Helme et al., 2016). The same approach could be used in the North-Eastern Ukraine, where old-growth Quercus robur-dominated forests are one the most valuable habitats. Developing a set of umbrella and flagship species of fungi, chara...
BioDATA (Biodiversity Data for Internationalisation in Higher Education) is an international project to develop and deliver biodiversity data training for undergraduate and postgraduate students from Armenia, Belarus, Tajikistan, and Ukraine. By training early career (student) biodiversity scholars, we aim at turning the current academic and educat...
BioDATA is an international project on developing skills in biodiversity data management and data publishing. Between 2018 and 2021, undergraduate and postgraduate students from Armenia, Belarus, Tajikistan, and Ukraine, have an opportunity to take part in the intensive courses to become certified professionals in biodiversity data management. They...
Psathyrella amarescens Arnolds – a new species for Ukraine from Homilsha Forests National Park (Kharkiv Forest-steppe, Ukraine). The paper presents a record of Psathyrella amarescens, rare species of Psathyrella, never reported from Ukraine before. Also detailed description of Ukrainian specimens of P. amarescens is proposed.

Sixteen species and infraspecies taxa of Inocybe are reported in this territory based on own data and literature references. Inocybe lacera var. helobia Kuyper and Inocybe langei...
Mycena galopus var. leucogala is recorded firstly for the territory of Ukraine, Mycena galopus s.l. — firstly for the Left-Bank Ukraine. The description of the specimen found on the territory of national nature park “Slobozhansky” is presented. Distribution of species and varietes as well as ecological features which allow Mycena galopus to exist o...
Habitats with Sphagnum mosses are extremely rare in Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine. Such habitats there are on the territory of the National Nature Park “Slobozhansky” (Kharkiv region, Ukraine) with more than 300 peat bogs, swampy forests and bog-lakes. Sphagnum mosses are known as substrates for a lot of specialized agarics and boleti species. Sph...
Information about substrate preferences of pleurotoid fungi species revealed in Kharkiv Forest-Steppe is discussed. Seventeen identified species of fungi had used as substrate 18 species of vascular plants, e. g. 17 - trees and shrubs and 1 species (Carex pilosa Scop.) - herbaceous plant. The main part of pleurotoid fungi have used as substrate the...
