INTRODUCTION

In Macedonia systematic research on the genus Hymenochaete Lév.1846 has not been conducted up till now, and there are relatively fewmycological papers concerned only with individual species of this genus.Publications making reference to individual species of Hymenochatetegenus are as follows: Hymenochaete cinnamomea (Pilàt & Lindtner 1938;Karadelev 1993, 1999, 2000; Karadelev et al. 2002 a, c and Karadelev &Rusevska 2004), Hymenochaete cruenta (Karadelev 1993), Hymeno -chaete fuliginosa (Karadelev 1993, 1995, 1998), Hymenochaete rubigi-nosa (Tortic 1988; Karadelev 1993; Karadelev et al. 2002 a, b, c, e),Hymenochaete subfuliginosa (Tortic 1988; Karadelev 1993, 1998),Hymenochaete tabacina (Karadelev 1999, 2000; Karadelev et al. 2002 aand Karadelev & Rusevska 2004). After the revision of the speciesHymenochaete corrugata (Karadelev et al. 2002 c) by E. Parmasto, it wasascertained that it was in fact Hymenochaete cinnamomea.

The distinctive features of this genus are the following: Fruiting bodyannual, resupinate to effused-reflexed, brown. Hymenophore smooth butbrown setae can be seen with hand-lens, often stratified or multi-layered.Trama layer present or absent. Fruiting body black in KOH. Hyphal sys-tem monomitic. Hyphae yellow to brown, often thick-walled. Clampsabsent. Setae present in hymenium, in a few species also in the trama, sub-ulate or acuminate. Spores ovoid to allantoid, hyaline (often difficult tofind). Saprobes on wood of deciduous and coniferous trees, causing whiterot, in a few species as a pocket rot. There are approximately 100 speciesin the world principally distributed in tropical areas.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The sources of this list have been papers published, exsiccatesdeposited in different collections, and research notes of the presentauthors. Some of the specimens, as mentioned above, have been preservedat the Botanical Department, Faculty of Science in Zagreb, and in theNational Collection of Fungi (FUNGI MACEDONICI) at the Institute ofBiology, Faculty of Natural Science, Ss Cyril and Methodius University inSkopje. The collections in the fungarium of the Botanical Department,Faculty of Science in Zagreb, have been mostly collected and examinedby M. Tortic. All other species without any fungaria marks in the text havebeen collected and determined by the present authors. Certain species inthe cited fungaria have been revised or determined by Erast Parmasto

Mitko Karadelev and Katerina Rusevska40


from the Institute of Zoology and Botany, Tartu, Estonia, and his name hasbeen appended.

The identification of the species of Hymenochaete has been doneaccording to Domañski (1975), Jülich (1984), Breitenbach & Kränzlin(1986), Jahn (1990), Corfixen et al. (1997) and Krieglsteiner (2000). In afew cases, the names of the species have been modified according to IndexFungorum 2005. The species are reported alphabetically. Under each fun-gal species data of geographical distribution, altitude, forest association,substrate, data source and previous publica tions are provided.

DISCUSSION

Of the total of seven species of Hymenochaetae genus known inEurope, thus far in the Republic of Macedonia the following six specieshave been recorded: Hymenochaete cinnamomea, H. cruenta, H. fuli -ginosa, H. rubiginosa, H. subfuliginosa and H. tabacina. The localitieswhere these fungi were found are presented on Figures 1 and 2.

Hymenochaete cinnamomea grows on logs and branches of decidu-ous trees, most commonly Corylus, and rarely on conifers. It is a perenni-al species, found throughout the year. It is not a common species. Almostthermophilic, which may be found up to 700 m altitude on the sun sidesof mountainous locations (Krieglsteiner, 2000). It causes a pocket rot ondeciduous trees. In the Republic of Macedonia it grows on stumps, fallenand rotten branches, rotten trunk, rotten wood, and woody debris of thefollowing substrates: Buxus sempervirens, Carpinus orientalis, Castaneasativa, Cornus mas, Corylus avellana, Fagus, Fraxinus ornus, Juniperusoxycedrus, Quercus frainetto. The following eight localities are identifiedin the R. Macedonia: mountains of Bistra, Galicica, Karadzica, Korab,Kozjak, Sar Planina, Ograzden, and in the area Skopje. As regards its ver-tical distribution, it is found between 250 and 1,500 m altitude. As indicat-ed by Karadelev (1999, 2000), it is rare in Macedonia, but judging by thelatest published (Karadelev at. all. 2002 a,c; Karadelev & Rusevska 2004)and unpublished data (Galicica Mt. on Quercus frainetto, Karadzica Mt.on Fagus and Kozjak Mt. on Populus tremula), a conclusion may bedrawn that it is not a rare species.

Hymenochaete cruenta grows on crust of dry branches and trunks ofAbies, at 15-30 m height. It is a widely spread species, found all year



47

around. Basidiocarps growth is fully dependent on atmospheric humidity.In Europe it is submeridional to southern-moderate species (Carpathian-Alpine) and follows the natural areal of the genus Abies (Krieglsteiner,2000). For the Republic of Macedonia, there is only one datum – GalicicaMt., on Abies borisii-regis (Karadelev, 1993); therefore a conclusion on itsdistribution cannot be drawn.

Hymenochaete fuliginosa typically grows on conifers (Picea, Abies,Pinus), and in northern Europe it also grows on Salix. It grows on theinside of logs or fallen branches, with or without crust. It is a perennial,rare species, found throughout the year. According to data provided byKriegelsteiner (2000), in Europe it is distributed from southern Francethrough central Europe all the way to northern Europe. In Macedonia ithas generally been found on Juniperus excelsa (Karadelev, 1993), and thefinds on Abies (Sar Planina Mt) and wood used in construction (KozjakMt.) are data of more substrates where the species has been found inMacedonia. According to the existing data, it is not a very commonspecies.

Hymenochaete rubiginosa grows on trunks and branches of Quercus,Castanea sativa as well as on processed wood. It is a frequent species,found all year round. It is perennial, often becoming over 10-year old andproducing a pocket rot. As maintained by Krieglsteiner (2000), it is foundin all autochthonous oak and mixed forests and prefers protected lowlandand moderately southern-exposed, rather dry habitats. In the Medite -rranean, it also grows on Arbutus unedo (Melo & Cardoso, 1985). InMacedonia it has been found on the following substrates: Quercus species(Q. cerris, Q. frainetto, Q. petraea, Q. pubescens, Q. trojana - Karadelev,1993), on Castanea sativa (Tortic 1988), on Fagus and Corylus avellana(Karadelev et al. 2002 b). Unpublished data come from the followinglocalities: Belasica Mt., Kitka Mt., Kozuf Mt. (Konopiste vill.), OgrazdenMt. and Osogovski Planini Mt. It is a common species found at 900-1400m altitude.

Hymenochaete subfuliginosa is bound on various Quercus spp.growing on prostrate trunks, branches and stumps. According to Jahn(1971), it has been found in France, Switzerland, Germany, the CzechRepublic, Slovakia, Sweden, and Finland and it is probably bound to asummer dry climate. In Macedonia it has been found in the southern partsof the country on Quercus sp. (Tortic & Karadelev 1986). Other dataderive from the following substrates: Carpinus betulus, Fagus sylvatica,



Ostrya carpinifolia, Quercus cerris, Q. frainetto, Q. pubescens, Q. tro-jana, from the southern parts, too (Karadelev 1993). New localities forthis species are Kozuf Mt., on Quercus petraea, Kumanovo, on Quercuspetraea, and Sar Planina Mt., on rotten wood of Fagus or Abies. It isastonishing that the latter find is from 1,400 m altitude, which is unusualfor this thermophilic species.

Hymenochaete tabacina grows on dead wood of shrubs and broad-leaved trees, on branches and trunks, both fallen and standing or attachedrespectively, of Corylus, Salix, etc., but never on Quercus. It is foundthroughout the year, occasionally in large numbers; widespread. It is nor-mally annual, but sometimes old fruiting bodies are overgrown by youngones Jahn (1971). First and foremost it is found in light bush habitats,along riverbanks, channels, dams, ditches, and also at forest sides androadsides. In the Republic of Macedonia it has been recorded on the fol-lowing substrates: Coryllus avellana - Sar Planina Mt. (Karadelev et al.2002 a), Bistra Mt. (Karadelev & Rusevska 2004); Fagus - Karadzica Mt.(Karadelev 1999), Sar Planina Mt. (Karadelev et al. 2002 a); Juniperusoxycedrus – Galicica Mt. (Karadelev 1993). The find on Coryllus avellana

CONCLUSION

Of the total of seven species of Hymenochaetae genus identified inEurope, to date the following six species have been recorded in theRepublic of Macedonia: Hymenochaete cinnamomea, H. cruenta, H. fuli -ginosa, H. rubiginosa, H. subfuliginosa and H. tabacina. It is only thespecies Hymenochaete corrugata that has not been recorded in theRepublic of Macedonia, but it is expected that further research will con-tribute to a more detailed overview of the country’s distribution of thespecies belonging to this genus. The species H. rubiginosa and H. tabaci-na are common and widespread species in the Republic of Macedonia.Less frequent species are H. fuli ginosa and H. subfuliginosa. A surprisingfact about H. subfuliginosa is the find from 1,400 m altitude, which is

untypical of this thermophilic species. As indicated by data on H. cin-namomea that are available, a conclusion may be drawn that it is not a rarespecies. As far as the species H. cruenta is concerned, there is only onefind, which is the reason why no conclusions can be made on its distribu-tion.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We are indebted to Erast Parmasto, from the Institute of Zoology andBotany, Tartu, Estonia, for his review of part of the species ofHymenochaete genus that were forwarded to him, and to BSRS(Biological Students Research Society) for financial help to organizingfield trips for collection of scientific material.
