This is the first attempt of systematic research into Pyronemataceae family (Pezizales, Ascomycota) in the Republic of Macedonia. The aim of this paper was to present all available data (species diversity, brief ecology and distribution) on Pyronemataceae fungi in the country. Compiled species list includes data from existing literature (12 publications), 128 data from the MACFUNGI database, 110 exsiccates from the Macedonian Collection of Fungi (MCF) and our own field research trips, observations and identification. A total of 28 species belonging to 12 genera have been recorded. The highest number of species belongs to the genera Otidea (7), Scutellinia (4) and Genea (3 species). The most frequent species are Aleuria aurantia, Humaria hemisphaerica and Scutellinia scutellata. The species Genea fragrans, G. hispidula, G. verrucosa, Geopora arenicola and G. sumneriana are hypogeous fungi.

Macedonian Red list of fungi includes 213 species of Ascomycota and Basidiomycota following the strict IUCN Red List criteria to set categories. From 213 listed fungal species 21 are Critically Endangered species (CR), 30 Endangered (EN) species and 71 Vulnerable (VU) species. Critically endangered species require special attention to ensure their survival, thus we provide in the paper the most important information on localities with distribution maps, habitats and hosts of the CE species recorded up to date in Macedonia.

Members of the genus Lycoperdon (Lycoperdaceae) are mainly distinguished by their
pyriform and closed basidiomes, with an opening in the apex through which spores are
discharged and a cellular subgleba is normally present. Demoulin (1971‐1972) included a
list of more than 550 names validly published under Lycoperdon; although many taxa
have been transferred to other genera. Based on ITS‐LSU nrDNA sequences, Larsson &
Jeppson (2008) considered that in Europe the genus comprises around 30 species.
In this work, we want to examine whether ITS provides a good proxy for expert
morphological identification in Lycoperdon. We have obtained ITS sequences from around
160 specimens located at MCF, BPI and MA‐Fungi herbaria, mainly from Northern
Hemisphere. New sequences were aligned and compared with 83 sequences included in
Larsson & Jeppson (2008). The preliminary analyses, of the ITS sequences, revealed in the
Lycoperdon cluster around 40 molecular taxonomic units (MOTUs), whose relationship to
morphologically defined species will be discussed.
The research received support from the projects Flora Micologica Iberica (PB98‐0538‐
C04‐01, FMI‐REN2002‐04068‐CO2‐01), Programa Ciencia sem Fronteiras
(MEC/MCTI/CNPq/FAPs nº71/2013) and Synthesys (ES‐TAF‐788. ES‐TAF‐4935).

Presence, distribution and brief ecology of in total 15 species of hypogeous fungi is reported for the Republic of Macedonia. We analysed all available herbarium material and conducted additional systematic surveys of over fifty localities with a potential vegetation and ecology for hypogeous fungi. The following species were recorded: Balsamia vulgaris, Elaphomyces granulatus, E. reticu-latus, Genea fragrans, G. hispidula, G. verrucosa, Geopora arenicola, G. sumneriana, Hymenogaster arenarius, H. luteus, H. lycoperdineus, H. olivaceus, Melanogaster bromenianus, M. tuberiformis, and Radiigera atrogleba. Taxonomically these species are in the group of Ascomycota (Elaphomyc-etales and Pezizales), and in the group of Basidiomycota (Agaricales, Cortinariales and Geastrales). No representatives of Zygomycota were recorded up to date. We provide a brief ecology, locality, a summary distribution maps, and a review of areal distribution for each species. Twelve species were recorded and analysed for the first time in the Republic of Macedonia.

This paper contains results on the subject of the ecology and distribution of the genus Tulostoma in the Republic of Macedonia. Insufficient data about the distribution of four species (Tulostoma brumale, T. caespitosum, T. fimbriatum, T. melanocyclum) have been published so far; therefore the aim of this work is to provide a more comprehensive review on the ecology and distribution of this systematic category in the Republic of Macedonia. The species T. squamosum is new for the mycobiota of the Republic of Macedonia. A total number of five species from the genus Tulostoma have been found.

Antrodia juniperina (Murrill) Niemelä & Ryvarden and Pyrofomes demidoffii (Lév.) Kotl. & Pouzar are higher fungi commonly found on specific wood substrate of Greek juniper (Juniperus excelsa M. Bieb.) occurring exclusively in warm regions of Europe (south-eastern Balkan Peninsula and Turkey). They exhibit high potential for use in human medicine as anti-cancer and anti-atherogenic drugs of natural origin. ITS regions were applied for comparison of phylogenetic relationship among species closely related to Antrodia juniperina and Pyrofomes demidoffii after NJ analysis. Both species were confirmed as clear and stable species. Preliminary results of tests for the biological activity of whole sporocarp extract or dried and homogenised mature sporocarps of basidiomycete fungi Antrodia juniperina and Pyrofomes demidoffii, as separate and independent applications, indicated their relative high antioxidant activity in vitro and on cancer-induced mouse. The phylogenetic distribution of close...

Considering the global interest for the natural sources of antioxidants, macrofungi have become attractive for research activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant properties of three Boletus species: B. appendiculatus, B. satanas and B. lupinus. Specimens were collected from Macedonian oak forest on Galichica Mountain in autumn 2011. Antioxidant properties of the selected fungi were assayed using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity method in the methanolic extracts. The contents of phenolic compounds and flavonoids present in the mature fruiting bodies were also analyzed. A highly significant correlation between antioxidant capacity and phenolic content was found, indicating that phenolic compounds are a major contributor to antioxidant activity in the mushroom fruiting bodies. The highest antioxidant capacity and the lowest effective concentrations of the samples at which DPPH radicals were scavenged by 50% (EC50 values) were c...

Morphological and molecular analyses of Battarrea phalloides from Macedonia were done. While B. phalloides specimens shown three kind of spore ornamentation, each one related to a clade in the phylogenetic ITS nrDNA tree; all specimens from Macedonia shown spores with anastomosing truncate ridges and very low variability of the ITS nrDNA sequences. The low genetic variability of these specimens, could be because of genetic drift.

Macrofungi have long been valued as nutritional food and an important part of the traditional medicine by different cultures worldwide. They contain large number of secondary metabolites which have antioxidant properties. Phenolic compounds are widely distributed secondary metabolites in mushrooms, that are correlated with their antioxidant activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of three wild species belonging to two genera of Tricholomataceae family: Collybia peronata, Tricholoma aurantium and T. stans. Antioxidant properties of the selected fungi were assayed using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging capacity method. Total phenolic content in the methanolic extract of the mature fruiting bodies was determined by Folin-Ciocalteu's colorimetric method, while for the determination of the flavonoid content was used aluminium chloride colorimetric method. The highest content of total phenolic compounds was found in Tricholoma stans (19.43±0.70 mg GAE/g DW), followed by T. aurantium and Collybia peronata (15.93±0.58 and 10.60±0.26 mg GAE/g DW, respectively). The highest flavonoid content was also determined for the extract of T. stans (3,47±0.18 mg QE/g). Among the tested samples, T. aurantium fruiting body extract was the strongest DPPH scavenger with the lowest EC 50 value (0.30), followed by the extracts of T. stans and C. peronata (0.32 and 0.61, respectively). This study demonstrated that the analysed wild macrofungi (Collybia peronata, Tricholoma aurantium and T. stans) have the potential to accumulate phenolics as bioactive secondary metabolites that possess antioxidant activity .
