ABSTRACT
Macrofungi in Post-mining Sites Lucie Zíbarová1,* and Anna Lepšová2
Macrofungi are distinguished by having fruiting structures (sporocarps) visible to the naked eye (Lodge et al. 2004), but this group is not based on phylogenetic relationships because such fungi belong to several unrelated lineages (Hibbett 2007). Instead, its basis is a methodological approach to their study. Fungi (including macrofungi) play crucial roles in most ecosystems as decomposers, symbionts, and parasites, yet as a group are still generally understudied (Lodge et al. 2004).
