[Ecological distribution of macrofungi in Qingliang Mountain Natural Reserve, Anhui Province].
The north side of Qingliang Mountain Natural Reserveis is very rich of macrofungi resources. There are 160 species, belonging to 72 genera, 38 families, 10 orders and 2 classes, and distributing in the evergreen broadleaf forest, Pinus massoniana forest, evergreen-decidous mixed broadleaf forest, and Pinus taiwanensis forest. According to their economic value, these macrofungi may be grouped into two types: edible (72 species) and medicinal (55 species); and according their ecological habitat, they may be grouped into lignicolous (68 species), entomophilous (84 species), and ectomycorrhizal (21 species). Our study showed a certain regularity of their distribution, i.e., it varied with the ecological conditions of forests, tree species, soil types and altitude. Many economical macrofungi in this region could serve as one of the important natural resources, and had great potential usage on the edibility, medicinal and forestation.
