IBF Fungi
The actual occurrence of fungi, mainly macrofungi, in three habitats around Regensburg will be monitored during 50 observations within two years. These habitats are a) the Otterbach valley near Altenthann; b) the nature reserve "Sippenauer Moor", a calcareous and sulphuric fen near Saal a.d. Donau; c) the calcareous dry grasslands of the "Alpiner Steig" between Eilsbrunn and Schönhofen. Thus the investigated habitats belong to three different natural territories. Detailed informations on the occurrence of vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens and fungi are available for these habitats due to long-time floristic investigations. The actually gathered data should indicate changes in species diversity, and provide information about exact localisations of the observed organisms. Furthermore, the data will be analysed according to factors derived from PILZOEK. Major scientific goal of these investigations is to generate ecological profiles for the observed taxa based on the vegetation units and substrate types on which they occur. The monitoring of fungi is conducted parallel to the lichen monitoring (IBF Lichens) in the same habitats.
