The most numerous order is Agaricales, with 109 identified species; of the families,<br />

best represented are Tricholomataceae (62 species), Russulaceae (40 species),<br />

Cortinariaceae (31 species), Coriolaceae (19 species) and Boletaceae (15 species).<br />

The largest numbers of species of macrofungi have been identified in the forest<br />

ecosystems of beech (69 species); Grey Alder (47 species), spruce and common fir<br />

(80 species), and Macedonian pine (36 species).<br />

Mushroom taxa of conservation significance<br />

A total of 16 taxa of macrofungi of conservation significance have been identified in<br />

the territory of RMNP, as follows (Fig. 14):<br />

1) IUCN 11 rare species<br />

5 endangered species<br />

2) The <strong>Rila</strong> Mountain Red List 2 species<br />

3) The Bulgarian Red List 3 species<br />

4) The European Red List 9 species<br />

5) The Bern Convention Annex 1 species<br />

N.B.: The total number of species listed under the different categories above adds up<br />

to more than 16, as individual species are listed in more than one category.<br />

The list of mushroom species of conservation significance in RMNP is presented in<br />

Appendix 16. A comparison between the numbers of mushroom species in <strong>Rila</strong> and<br />

Central Balkan National <strong>Park</strong>s and in <strong>Rila</strong> <strong>Monastery</strong> <strong>Nature</strong> <strong>Park</strong> can be made in<br />
