Wood decay fungi of the genus Phellinus in urban area and national parks

Fungi of the genus Phellinus cause the white rot of the wood. They infect a physiological weakness trees but a healthy trees can be infected also. Different types of hardwood and conifers are their hosts. Visible symptoms of the fertile body (sporocarp) occur on the trunk and branches. The fungal infection causes the loss of mechanical strength of wood and fragility. The aim of the work is to determine the diversity of species of the genus Phellinus in the urban area and the national parks in Croatia. A visual inspection of the trees in the urban areas of Zagreb: parks, rows of trees, playgrounds as well as national parks Brijuni and Krka were conducted. Fruiting bodies of fungi were collected. The detection and identification of different Phellinus species by morphological and molecular methods were performed. Fruiting bodies of the fungi Phellinus were found in the following tree species: Pinus halepensis Mill. - aleppo pine, Pinus pinaster Ait. - maritime pine, Pinus pinea L. - stone pine, Quercus petraea L. - sessile oak, Quercus ilex L. - holly oak, Fagus sylvatica L. - beech, Phillyrea latifolia L. - mock privet, Laurus nobilis L. - laurel, Fraxinus ornus L. - black ash, Salix spp, - willow, Populus tremula L. - poplar, Prunus spinosa L. - wild plum, Prunus avium L. - wild cherry. The following types of fungi: Phellinus pini Thore (Pilate), P. robustus (Karst) Bourd. Et Galz., P. ferruginosus (Schrad.) Pat., P. punctatus (Fr.) Pilat, P. pomaceus (Pers.) Maire and P. igniarius (L.) Quel. were detected. Abstracts of Poster Presentations 54 Six species of fungi genus Phellinus in investigated deciduous trees and evergreen trees were detected. The holly oak in Brijuni National Park had the largest infestation with P. punctatus. The aleppo pine in Krka National Park had the largest infestation with P. pini. In the Zagreb urban area five species of Phellinus were detected. P. punctatus were not detected.
