Lacheva* Department of Botany and Agrometeorology, Agricultural University, Plovdiv, Bulgaria ABSTRACT The present study reports 113 larger fungi in Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean plant communities of Mt Sakar. All taxa are new to Mt Sakar. Of these, 88 species are reported for the first time from Toundzha Hilly Country. The predominant part of species belongs to the class Agaricomycetes (110 species), other part belongs to the Pezizomycetes (3 species). Nine species are included in the Red List of fungi in Bulgaria and Red Data Book of the Republic of Bulgaria, namely Agaricus macrocarpus, Amanita caesarea, A. vittadinii, Bovista graveolens, Clathrus ruber, Chlorophillum agaricoides, Geastrum triplex, Phallus hadriani, and Tulostoma fimbriatum. One species is rare and threatened in Bulgaria and Europe – Phallus hadriani. The following steppe, xerothermic, and thermophilous fungi deserve special attention: Agaricus bernardii, Entoloma incanum, Hygrocybe virginea, H. persistens, Lepiota alba, and Leucopaxillus lepistoides. The aim of the paper is to enrich the information about fungal diversity of the Mt Sakar, which area appears to be important for conservation of the fungal diversity in Bulgaria. Key words: fungal conservation, fungal diversity, larger fungi, Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean plant communities, Mt Sakar INTRODUCTION (3, 4). The highest peak in the Mt Sakar is peak Mt Sakar is situated in Southeast Bulgaria, in the Vishegrad (856 m). southeastern part of the Balkan Peninsula. Mt Sakar mainly constitutes of old Paleozoic Besides the European and Macedonian-Thracian metamorphic and granite rocks, with some floristic elements, there are also Euxinian limestone out crops. Soil cover in the Sakar is floristic elements, steppe, and Mediterranean represented by shallow leached and strongly species and therefore, Mt Sakar has been set leached to podzolized cinnamon-forest soils. The apart into an independent region of the predominant soil types are cinnamon-podzolic Macedonian-Thracian Province (1). soils (5). It falls within the Continental-Mediterranean In the composition of the plant communities climatic region (2). Summers are warm and participate trees, shrubs and herbaceous species, winters are mild, without lasting snow cover and many of which are with Mediterranean and sub- with small temperature amplitudes.

Bulgaria is a parliamentary republic with a National Assembly (One House Parliament) of 240 national representatives. The President is Head of State. Geography of Bulgaria The Republic of Bulgaria covers a territory of 110 993 square kilometres. The average altitude of the country is 470 metres above sea level. The Stara Planina Mountain occupies central position and serves as a natural dividing line from the west to the east. It is a 750 km long mountain range stretching from the Vrushka Chuka Pass to Cape Emine and is part of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain range. It reaches the Black Sea to the east and turns to the north along the Bulgarian-Yugoslavian border. A natural boundary with Romania is the Danube River, which is navigable all along for cargo and passenger vessels. The Black Sea is the natural eastern border of Bulgaria and its coastline is 378 km long. There are clearly cut bays, the biggest two being those of Varna and Bourgas. About 25% of the coastline are covered with sand and hosts our seaside resorts. The southern part of Bulgaria is mainly mountainous. The highest mountain is Rila with Mt.

Information about physico-geographic characteristics of the area, land cover, etc. are gathered and analyzed in GIS. Тhe location and the area affected by the largest fire are being determined based on sattelite data. An analysis of the affected area is done. Introduction Haskovo region is situated in the East part of South Bulgaria. It has an area of 5534 km2 that is 5% of the country area. In the region there are 261 urban places, arranged in 11 municipalities - Haskovo, Dimitrovgrad, Svilengrad, Lyubimets, Harmanli, Madzharovo, Simeonovgrad, Ivaylovgrad Topolovgrad, Mineral Baths and Stambolovo. The municipality borders are: the districts of Plovdiv, Stara Zagora, Yambol, Kardzhali. In the South-East region it borders with Greece and Turkey. The region is crossed by the railway line Sofia - Istanbul and the highway “Trakia”. The territory of Haskovo region covers the southwestern ridges of the Sakar Mountain and the northern parts of the Eastern Rhodopes. Though the region flow the rivers Maritsa, Arda and Sazliyka. There are hot springs and balneological resorts in the area of Haskovski Mineral Baths and Merichleri, in Simeonovgrad and Dolno Botevo.

Infections with avian influenza viruses in domestic poultry and other captive birds cause two main forms of that disease that are distinguished by their virulence. The low pathogenic form generally only causes mild symptoms, while the highly pathogenic form results in very high mortality rates in most species of birds. That disease may have a severe impact on the profitability of poultry farming. (2) In the event of an outbreak of avian influenza in a Member State, there is a risk that the disease agent may spread to other holdings where poultry or other captive birds are kept. As a result, it may spread from one Member State to other Member States or to third countries through trade in live poultry or other captive birds or their products.

The place of cultural and natural sites in the vision of the local population for the development of the target region The extent to which the sites are recognized by the respondents is considered in the context of the overall vision of the local population for the development of the target region (Haskovo district). Cultural and historical heritage sites have a clearly defined place in the vision of the population as the second most important resource for the development of the target region with their potential for attracting visitors: - the cultural and historical sites are the second most frequently mentioned resource (30.6%), connected with the main development potential of the Haskovo district - after the land and the opportunities for development of agriculture (33.2%). - next to agriculture (58.8%), considered by the respondents as the most promising sector for the Haskovo region, tourism is regarded as the second (45%) and wine growing (22.8%) as the third most important sector for development. Regarding cultural heritage a major role is played by archaeological sites – finds from antiquity, excavations and archaeological remains (at the expense of, for example, architectural monuments): given average assessment scores of 1 to 7, where 7 is the highest score, archaeological monuments are very highly valued for their potential to attract tourists to the area - 6,02, which is the highest score among all other aspects - for architectural landmarks it is 5.81 and for local customs and traditions - 5.65.

Today it showcases artefacts from the Neolithic Age to modern times, displayed in four exhibition halls. 1 Museum of History town of Dimitrovgrad The hall entitled "Youth-brigade movement in Bulgaria" is one of a kind in Bulgaria, focusing on a complicated and controversial period of the country's recent past – the time frame 1945-1990. Brigade members' uniforms, flags, awards, photos depicting the daily life of youth brigade members, and other items reveal the history of this movement and immerse visitors in the spirit of the times. The Dimitrovgrad Hall reveals the construction of one of Bulgaria's youngest cities, which became a symbol of Socialism in the 1950s. The Archaeology Hall showcases artefacts testifying to the life in the settlements in Dimitrovgrad Municipality, some of which have had a continuous development since the Neolithic period (6th century BC) to the present day. Part of the museum's fund is known as the "Neolithic man" discovered in 2009 during archaeological rescue excavations of the medieval settlement in the Kar Dere locality near the village of Krum close to Dimitrovgrad.
