The studying the co-occurrence of forest orchids and mushrooms with hypogeous fruiting bodies in the Carpathian basin
Abstract
The family Orchidaceae abounds in endangered species, for this reason this family is significant for nature conservation. Additionally the members of this family are connected with many organisms, thus the protection of the symbionts and habitats of the orchids are the task of nature conservation. During our work we examined the correlation of the co-occurence of forest orchids and mushrooms producing hypogeous fruit bodies as based on our field experience this organisms are found often in same habitat. The co-occurence was tested with frequency and „co-occurence” analysis. Based on our results the true truffles (Tuber spp.), especially the sommer truffle (Tuber aestivum), occur most frequently in the same habitat as orchids, while co-occurrence statistic showed six positive orchid-mushrooms with hypogeous fruiting bodies connections. The co-occurence draws attention to the complying with the importance of the rules of truffle gathering, with wich the protection of the orchids and the mycelium of the mushroom can become reality.
