OLEG ANTONIC Some parts of Croatia have neuer been mycologically explored. The order Agaricales is no exception. As a contribution to the knowledge of Croatian Laboratory of Biocoenotic Research mycobiota, a survey of known species of Agaricales (sensu lato) [ound in Ruder Boskovic Institute Sjcucrni Velebit National Park is given. The great majority of those species Bijenicka cesta 54 10000 Zagreb has never been reported for th is area. Croatia Matel"ial and Methods: The survey indndes all previously published re- cords, as well as all identified unpublished records collected until july 2004. Basic data of the records are included for each species. All samples are Correspondence: identified by standard mycological methods. The material is conserved by Zdenko Tkalcec dlying and deposited in the Croatian National Fungariul11 (CNF). Laboratory of Biocoenotic Research Ruder Boskovic Institute Results: The survey comprises 98 species of Agaricales, 87 of which are Bijenicka cesta 54 reported as new to the area ofSjevemiVelebit National Parl(. Eight species 10000 Zagreb are reported as new to Croatia.

INTRODUCTION A mong all major taxonomic groups of rganisms in Croatia, Fungi .1""\..are the least known (-16). ome parts of Croatia have never been mycologically explored. Such level of exploration is caused by an insuf- ficient number of mycologists who have researched the area. The order Agaricales is no exception. As a contribution to the knowledge of Cro- atian mycobiota, we give a survey of known species of Agaricalcs found in Sjeverni Velebit ational Park. Up to now, only II species of Agaricales have been reported for the area ofSjeverni Velebit ational Park (53), as a result of research by M. Tortic between 1973 and 1975. More intensive research has been started in 1998 by Z. Tkalcec and A. fdie, with the help of a few field collabo- rators. The area of Sjeverni Velcbit I ational Park covers 109 quare kilo- metres (see Figure I. for the situation of the ational Park in Croatia and Velebit mountain). The altitude in the park varies from 550 to 1676 m. Main types of habitats are montane (Fagus sylvatica), alri- montane (Abies alba, Fagus sylvatica, Picea abies), subalpine (Fagus Received March 3, 2005. sylvatica, Picea abies, Pinus mugo) and subrnediterranean (Pinus nigra, z.

Estimation of macroclirnaric variability within the park, based on spatial interpolation macroclimatic models (2), is shown in Figure 2. Extremely rugged karst relief that developed on pure limestone geological substratum cau es high spatial variability of soil and topoclimatic conditions (J). The latter is especially evi- dent in the temperature and humidity altitudinal inver- sions of karst sinkholes (3). Month MATERIAL AND METHODS Figure 2.

Identification of specimens is based on macroscopic and/or microscopic features of basidiocarps.
