Abstract


Tulostoma genus Pers.: Pers. is represented in Poland by five species (Wojewoda 2003). Only two of those: Tulostoma brumale Pers.: Pers. and T. fimbriatum Fr. can be considered as a relatively common while others such as: Tulostoma kotlabae Pouzar, T. melanocyclum Bres. and T. squamosum (Gmelin in L.): Pers. are very rare. Observations of macrofungi of xerothermic habitats at the Nida Basin (Central Poland), demonstrated the existance of many varieties of particular taxa until now not listed in the Polish mycological literature, and also new sites of all so far described Tulostoma species. Recording of lower taxa such as: Tulostoma brumale Pers. var. longipes (Czern.) J. E. Wright, T. brumale Pers. var. pallidum (Lloyd) J. E. Wright, and T. fimbriatum Fr. var. campestre (Morgan) Moreno are identified at the study area.
