Global warming and mycoflora in the Baltic Region HANNS KREISEL Zur Schwedenschanze 4, D 17498 Potthagen, hanns.kreisel@gmx.de K r e i s e l H.: Global warming and mycoflora in the Baltic Region. Acta Mycol. 41 (1): 79 94, 2006. The author discusses possible effects of global warming on distribution and ecology of larger fungi, and presents examples of suggested indicator species which apparently are spreading from south to north. Only Basidiomycetes are corncerned, while actually no case of non lichenized Ascomycetes is known. A continued monitoring of the mentioned species is recommended. Key words: mycoflora, Basidiomycetes, global warming, Baltic Region INTRODUCTION Global warming (climatic change) with its consequences for weather and local climate, rising sea level, retreat of glaciers and of polar ice calottes, and subsequent nature catastrophes, actually is much disputed in newspapers, journals, and book publications. Highly reputed specialists of climatology, oceanography, or physics, have investigated the phenomena (e. g. R a h m s t o r f , S c h e l l n h u b e r 2006). Since the end of last Ice Age, some 15 000 years ago, climate in central and northern Europe is warming, and enormous ice calottes have retired from this re- gion, making possible a re-settelement of large areas by vegetation and fauna. This process was not continuous, but interrupted by phases of standstill alternating with phases of further warming. Nevertheless, the actual phase of relatively fast warming is regarded as man-made to a large extent, and therefore requires special attention by scientists. Also in mycology, we are contemporary witnesses of changes in distribution and ecology of fungi, and we should use the chance to observe and describe the corre- sponding evolutions. During the last decenniums, attention of mycologists was concentrated on proc- esses of threat and decline of mycoflora by presumably man-made factors, with sub- sequent publication of a rich literature of Red Data Lists and evaluations of long registers of species regarded as endangered in different degrees. ACTA MYCOLOGICA Vol. 41 (1): 79-94 2006 Dedicated to Prof Dr. ALINA SKIRGIEŁŁO, Warszawa, with motivation of her 95th birthday 80 H. Kreisel This is not the place to discuss whether or not it is possible to conserve the myco- flora of a given territory in its actual composition and status, but we should be aware that we are living on a planet which is in permanent evolution since thousands mil- lions of years, and will continue to evolve. Up to date, only a few mycologists, and only in a few special cases, have discussed the consequences of global warming. But there is an interesting paper of Dutch li- chenologists (H e r k et al. 2002) who have found, basing on a long-term monitoring, that many tropical and subtropical species of epiphytic and terrestrial lichen species are invading the Netherlands, while already 50% of the arctic-alpine and boreo- montane species shows a decline. If we are looking for comparable processes in non-lichenized larger fungi, we only can form a general picture by comparison of many small detailed informations. Judging from experiences and publications from central and northern Europe, in particular from countries around the Baltic Sea, the following impressions raise: 1. A number of species is moving from southern countries (mainly the submedi- terranean region) to north. But this is not an advance on broad front, but only in more or less isolated localities, volatile, and interrupted by temporary retreats. 2. Main fructification time of macromycetes is shifting from late summer and early fall to late fall, even beginning winter. This remembers the situation in regions with mediterranean clima. Organizers of forays, mushroom exhibitions and similar events already had to note this phenomenon by success or failure of their efforts. 3. Consequences of climate on annual mushroom yield have been supposed by R i c h t e r (2005, 2006). In an area north of Berlin he demonstrated a positive trend in the period 1977 - 2003 for Cantharellus cibarius, Boletus edulis, Sparassis crispa, and Gyroporus cyanescens, while the yield of Xerocomus badius and Amanita rubes- cens was showing a decrease. On increasing frequency of the poisonous Agaricus xanthodermus see above. In the following lines, only the first aspect shall be considered and substantiated by some facts and data. WOOD INHABITING MACROMYCETES Auricularia mesenterica (Dicks. : Fr.) Pers. was known in central Germany already in the 19th century, but only since 1970 ist is known in northern Germany (Baltic coast), and 1983 in lower Elbe valley (W ö l d e c k e 1998; O t t o et al. 2005 map). The actual extension of its area has reached southern Norway and central Sweden (R y - m a n , H o l m å s e n 1984, map). Coriolopsis trogii (Berk.) Dom. [Trametes trogii Berk.] This species seems to be indigenous in the Rhine valley from SW. Germany to Netherlands, in the Inn valley of SE. Bavaria, in Moravia and Slovakia (K o t l a - b a 1984, map; K r i e g l s t e i n e r 1991, map; A r n o l d s et al. 1995, map). Outposts in central and northern Germany were noted 1945 near Alsfeld, Hessen and 1961 near Detmold (K r e i s e l 1962), 1977 in Berlin (K a s p a r 1979), 1996 near Merse- burg (R i c h t e r , S c h u r i g 1997), 1998 near Borna, Saxonia (H a r d t k e , O t t o 1998), and 2004 near Braunschweig (A n d e r s s o n 2004). In Poland the species has reached central Poland (N i e m e l ä et al. 1992), and in Scandinavia isolated locali- ties in southern Norway, central Sweden and south-eastern Finland (O l o f s s o n Global warming and mycoflora in the Baltic Region 81 1996, map; Ve s t e r h o l t in H a n s e n , K n u d s e n 1997; L a r s s o n 1997, map). Up to date, there seems to be no record from Denmark. Diplomitoporus flavescens (Bres.) Dom. [Trametes flavescens BRES.]. This species, bound to Pinus spp., was known around 1970 to occur north to southern Germany, eastern Saxonia (D u n g e r 1987), southern and eastern Poland (Wo j e w o d a 2003); it was discovered 1974 in southern Brandenburg (eastern Germany), 1983 in Berlin and after 1994 north of Berlin (B e n k e r t 2004, maps), it was found before 1983 in the Słowinski National Park, northern Poland (B u j a k i e w i c z , L i s i e w s k a 1983), and 1986 in the Netherlands (Arnolds & al. 1995). In Sweden, only 3 localities have been noted before 1996 (O l o f s s o n 1996, map). Ganoderma adspersum (Schulzer) Donk [G. australe (FR.) PAT. agg.] is considered as an expanding species by several authors (ARNOLDS & al. 1995 for Netherlands, K r e i s e l 1998, with map, for eastern Germany, Wo j e w o d a 2003 for Poland). Al- though known from Prague as early as 1851 (K o t l a b a 1984, map), it was found only 1959 near Detmold, 1960 near Potsdam, 1961 near Dresden, 1964 near Stralsund, 1981 on Fyn and Sjaelland (Denmark), 1986 on the Frisian island Langeoog, 1996 at the southern coast of Sweden, and 1997 in Oslo, Norway (J a h n 1963; P e t e r s e n 1983; K r e i s e l 1987; O l o f s s o n 1996, map; K r e i s e l 1998, map; W ö l d e c k e 1998). Ganoderma pfeifferi Bres. The species occurs mainly on liv-ing truncs of Fagus sylvativa. It was known already 1860 near Greifswald and 1864 on Lolland, Denmark (P e t e r s e n 1983; K r e i s e l 1998, map), but was recorded only 1971 ff in Skåne, southern-most Sweden (B o h l i n 1971), and later in Blekinge and Väster-götland, Sweden (O l o f s s o n 1996, map; L a r s s o n 1997). In Poland its distribution probably is synanthropic (Wo j e w o d a 2003). Ganoderma resinaceum Boud. This another southern Ganoderma species “going north”. It was recorded 1910 in southern Moravia (K o t l a b a 1984), 1930 in east- ern Saxonia, 1932 near Darmstadt, Hessen, 1943 ff in the Netherlands (after 1970 increasing there), 1950 in Lolland, Denmark, 1963 Westfalen, 1981 ff in Nieder- sachsen, Germany, 1987 in Halland, Sweden, but only 1995 ff in Rostock and other places along the Baltic coast in North Germany (J a h n 1963; P e t e r s e n 1983; A r - n o l d s 1995; O l o f s s o n 1996, map; K r e i s e l 1998, map). Hirneola auricula-judae (Bull. : Fr.) Wettst. [Auricularia auricula-judae (Bull. : Fr.) Berk.] is actually quite common in Germany and Poland and was recorded as early as 1721 in central Germany and 1753 in eastern Brandenburg (T ä g l i c h 1998; B e n k e r t 2004), but there is a distinct increase of its frequency after 1970 in north- ern Germany (B e n k e r t 2004 with maps; Kreisel n. p.). A significant spreading was noted after 1945 in Denmark and southern Sweden (Knudsen & Pedersen 1980, maps) and after 1980 in the Netherlands (N a u t a , Ve l l i n g a 1995). Inonotus nidus-pici Pilát was observed since 1887 in Czechoslovakia (K o t l a b a 1984), but appeared 1967 in Potsdam, 1977 near Eberswalde, 1978 near Parchim, 1984 ff in and around Demmin, and 1985 near Rostock, all in northern Germany (B e n k e r t 1971; K r e i s e l 1994, map). Strangely enough, there is no record of this submediterranean species from the neighbour regions Poland and western Germa- ny, and there are no more records from Germany after 2000. Up to date the species was not recorded from Denmark and Fennoscandia. 82 H. Kreisel Mutinus caninus (Huds. : Pers.) Fr. The species is common in forests of cen- tral Europe and Denmark for a long time, but its immigration in Scandinavia is described by A n d e r s s o n (1941). Actually it is rare in Norway and Sweden, and known from only one locality in south-western Finland (E c k b l a d in H a n s e n , K n u d s e n 1997). Pluteus aurantiorugosus (Trog) Sacc. [P. coccineus (Massee) J. E. Lange] is rare, but widely distributed in central Europe, in the Netherlands and in southern Poland (K r e i s e l 1987; K r i e g l s t e i n e r 1991, map; A r n o l d s 1995; Wo j e w o d a 2003), being more frequent only in south-western Germany and the Rhine valley. It was recorded in Jylland, Denmark, 1917 ff (L a n g e 1936), but only since 1984 in north- ern Germany (K r e i s e l 1987; O t t o et al. 2005, map). In recent times it appeared in Sweden from Skåne to Västergötland and Öland (L a r s s o n 1997), and 2002 in Norway near Oslo (G u l d e n 2002). Polyporus alveolaris (DC. : Fr.) Bondartsev & Singer [P. mori Pollini: Fr., Favolus europaeus Fr.] has been found already in the 19th century in Czechoslovakia (PI- LÁT 1936; K o t l a b a 1984). In Germany it was recorded 1929 in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) and is now widely distributed in south-western Germany and eastern Bavaria, extending north to the Main valley and the Eifel Mts. (K r i e g l s t e i n e r 1991, map; L o h m e y e r 2003). In Poland it was found 1999 near Tarnów and re- cently along Odra river near Kostrzyn and Szczecin (Wo j e w o d a 2003). Up to date, there are no records from North Germany, Denmark, and Scandinavia. Sarcodontia crocea (Schwein. : Fr.) Kotl. [S. crocea (Pers.) Donk] has penetrated in two periods to the Baltic region. In the 19th century, the northern limit of its distri- bution was marked by Göttingen, Dessau, Görlitz, Legnica, Wroclaw, Kraków, and Bieszczady Mts. (K r e i s e l 1991; Wo j e w o d a 1973, 2003), but around 1900 several records were noted around Berlin, 1902 on Öland (Sweden), moreover near Gam- borg (Fyn, Denmark), 1928 near Lublin in Poland and 1933 near Elbing (Elbląg). All of these outposts were extinct for several decenniums, but in 1970 another advance started in NE Germany: 1970 near Guben, 1970 and 1979 Rostock, 1975 Potsdam, 1980 Neubrandenburg, 1983 Berlin-Mahlsdorf, 1990 Greifswald and near Wismar. Simultaneously, the species appeared in the Netherlands (prov. Zeeland) in 1975 and 1984 (A r n o l d s et al. 1995). In southernmost Finland now the 61° latitude is reached (S c h u m a c h e r 2005). Schizophyllum commune Fr. : Fr. Although the Common Split-gill was observed in central Europe and in Denmark already in the 18th century, there was a notable increase in frequency and distribution since 1932 in Denmark and since 1948 on Bornholm island (B j ø r n e k a e r , B u c h w a l d 1933; K n u d s e n , P e d e r s e n 1983, maps), after 1950 in northeastern Germany (D ö r f e l t et al. 1988, map). The actual distribution reaches southern Norway, southern and central Sweden and southern Finland (R y m a n , H o l m å s e n 1984, map; K ä ä r i k in H a n s e n , K n u d s e n 1997). In contrary, a decrease was noted since 1980 in the Netherlands (N a u t a , Ve l l i n g a 1995). Less distinctive appear the cases of some wood-inhabiting saprobic agarics and boletes, regarded as “southern species”, as Haasiella venustissima (Fr.) Kotl. & Pouzar, Pulveroboletus hemichrysus (Berk. & M. A. Curtis) Singer, Rhodotus palma- tus (Bull. : Fr.) Maire. These deserve further attention and monitoring, for they have been noted occasionally and inconsistently in northern Germany and Scandinavia. Global warming and mycoflora in the Baltic Region 83 H. venus-tissima and Rh. palmatus have been observed in Sweden already in the 19th century. Such early outpost records may be interpreted as relicts of a former warm- ing period - but in that time, number of observers was too low, and mapping was not applied, therefore no clear evidence is available. Another wood-inhabiting species to be monitored carefully is Plicatura crispa (Pers. : Fr.) Rea [P. faginea P. Karst.] for actually it is advancing (or re-settling lost areas ?) in central and northern Germany, but it is not clear whether or not this can be interpreted as consequence of Global Warming. SOIL AND LITTER INHABITING SAPROBES Agaricus bohusii BON, a species occuring mainly in alluvial forests and on synan- thropic habitats, was observed since 1922 in Bohemia, but only since 1969 in Hun- gary, 1978 in central Germany near Halle , 1981 near Magdeburg, before 1984 in Poland near Bielsko-Biała, 1986 in Hannover, 1990 near Leipzig, 1993 near Zit- tau, 2000 near Wismar (H e r r m a n n 1987; W ö l d e c k e 1998; Wo j e w o d a 2003; S p e c h t 2005; O t t o et al. 2005, map); in Denmark it was recorded since 1993 in Copenhagen, and since 1998 near Aarhus, Jylland (P e t e r s e n 2006). It was rarely found in the Netherlands (A r n o l d s et al. 1995), but still not recorded from Scan- dinavia. Agaricus xanthodermus Genev., the poisonous Yellow-staining Mushroom, is common in nearly the whole Germany (K r i e g l s t e i n e r 1991, map; O t t o & al. 1994, map), Netherlands, Denmark, Poland (S k i r g i e ł ł o 1986, map), Hungary etc., but rare in southern Scandinavia (H a n s e n , K n u d s e n 1992; R y m a n , H o l - m å s e n 1984, map). Recently, several observers in central and northern Germany have noted a discinct increase in frequency of this species. Clathrus archeri (Berk.) Dring [Anthurus archeri (Berk.) E. Fisch.] is a frequently documented and mapped case. The species, apparently introduced from Australia, appeared 1914 in eastern France (Vosges Mts.), 1938 in Germany near Karlsruhe (Rhine valley), 1942 near Basel in Switzerland, 1948 in Austria, 1965 in western Bohemia, 1985 in southern Poland and 1989 in Slovakia. In Germany, the species extended continuously to north: 1953 it was found in the Main valley, an important biogeographic line (S t r i c k e r 1954, maps), 1960 near Querfurt in central Germany (H e r r m a n n 1962, 1971), 1963 near Meißen (Saxonia), 1977 in the Harz Mts. and in Rostock near Baltic Sea, 1981 ff Lower Saxonia, 1984 ff near Greifswald. There is one record from Denmark (Fyn), but only an erroneous record 1942 in Norway. In the Netherlands the species appears since 1973 and is spreading (ARNOLDS & al. 1995). The early appearence of the species since 1945 in Cornwall, southwestern England, may be due to another introduction. For a rather actual map of distri- bution in Europe see K r e i s e l (2004), for Poland S t e n g l -R e j t h a r , Wo j e w o d a (1985), eastern Germany D ö r f e l t et al. (1988), Czechoslovakia K l u z á k (1990), western Germany K r i e g l s t e i n e r (1991). C. archeri meanwhile is naturalized in forests in wide parts of central Europe, whereas its habitats in northern Germany are mainly cemeteries, parks, recreational forest areas near towns, and other synan- thropic places. Conocybe intrusa (Peck) Singer [C. hebelomatoides Middelhoek & Reijnders]. The strange agaric, possibly introduced from North America, was observed in Eu- 84 H. Kreisel rope first 1950 in Hengelo, Netherlands (A r n o l d s et al. 1995), 1968 and 1971 in Berlin (B e n k e r t 2005) and then in several places around Berlin and in central Ger- many, including 1977 Zittau (H e r r m a n n 1976; E d e r 1983; D ö r f e l t et al. 1988, map), 1979 ff an a few places in Lower Saxonia (W ö l d e c k e 1998), 1987 near Greif- swald, and 1997 Wyszków in central Poland (Wo j e w o d a 2003), but already 1973 in Lithuania (U r b o n a s et al. 1986). Many of the records are from glasshouses, but others from gardens, vegetable waste, manure heaps, and other open places. Lycoperdon marginatum Vittad., a species of open grassland on gravelly or sandy soil, of mainly southern distribution, was rare everywhere in central Europe. In northern Germany it was found 1902 and 1905 around Berlin and rediscovered 1970 near Potsdam, 1984 near Görlitz, and 2003 near Zessin on the Rügen island (B e n k - e r t 1973; H a r d t k e , O t t o 1998; K r e i s e l 2005). Mutinus elegans (Mont.) E. Fisch. [M. curtisii (Berk.) E. Fisch., M. inopinatus Ul- brich] is another species of North American origin. In Europe it was first noted 1929 at Lago Maggiore in northern Italy (S t o m p s 1931), 1936 in lower Rhine valley in north-western Germany (U l b r i c h 1937), 1948 near Karlsruhe, 1977 ff in Saxonia, 1982 ff in Berlin, 1984 ff near Pasewalk in north-eastern Germany, the last being actually the northernmost locality in Europe (K r e i s e l 1987; R a u s c h e r t , H e l l - m u n d 1989; H a r d t k e , O t t o 1998; K r e i s e l 2004, map). M. elegans was observed in Germany mainly in gardens, frequently associated with tall grasses (Miscanthus spp., Arundo donax, B e n k e r t 2005). In the Netherlands it was found only 1989 near Ede (A r n o l d s et al. 1995; N a u t a , Ve l l i n g a 1995). There are no records from Denmark, Scandinavia, and Poland. Mutinus ravenelii (Berk. & M. A. Curtis) E. Fisch. was equally introduced from North America and was noted at first 1942 in Berlin. In contrary to M. elegans, it expanded mainly to north and was found after 1950 in the Netherlands, 1960 near Hamburg, 1961 in Riga and southern Finland (here 1981 already in Oulu), 1968 - 1984 again in Berlin (B e n k e r t , J e n t s c h 1985), and is knowm from rare collec- tions in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. In Germany, a certain concentration of lo- calities has established around Hamburg, and in the Spreewald estuary SE of Berlin. In eastern Europe, M. ravenelii is known from Bohemia (K u t h a n , Ve s e l s k ý 1967; S e d l á č e k , S k á l a 1985; B í c h a 1986), 1969 ff from southern and central Poland (G u m i n s k a 1985; S o k ó ł , S z c z e p k a 1987, map), about 1980 from Latvia and Estonia (V i m b a , Ya r v a 1981; J ä r v a , V i m b a 1981). A map of distribution in Europe was published by K r e i s e l (2004). In summary, most saprobic soil-inhabiting species recorded in part B are intro- duced from other continents or of unknown origin. ECTOMYCORRHIZAL FUNGI Amanita phalloides (Fr.) Link is a frequent species in most of central Europe, distributed since old times from submedi-terranean region till Baltic Sea, e. g. in Germany, Poland, Denmark, and the Baltic states. In Fennoscandia, it is restricted to the Fagus and Quercus belt, north till Hordaland in Norway, southern Sweden, Åland islands, and south-western Finland. The first record near Oslo was registered only 2000 by B r a n d r u d (2001), what suggests a slight extension to north in Nor- way. In contrary, in nort-western Germany it is scarce (K r i e g l s t e i n e r 1991, map), Global warming and mycoflora in the Baltic Region 85 and in the Netherlands there is a significant decline (N a u t a , Ve l l i n g a 1995, but see A r n o l d s et al. 1995). Amanita solitaria (Bull. : Fr.) Mérat ist frequent in the warmer parts of south- ern Germany, but rare in central Germany north to the Harz region, and very rare in the Netherlands. In northern Germany it was discovered 1989 near Braunsch- weig (W ö l d e c k e 1998), 1997 near Templin (D o l l 2001), and 2002 near Schwerin (K r e i s e l 2004). Distribution in western Germany was mapped by K r i e g l s t e i n e r (1991). The species is not known from Poland and Fennoscandia. Amanita verna (Bull. : Fr.) Roques should not be confused with albinotic forms of A. phalloides. The true A. verna is a more thermophilous mushroom which occurs in Germany only north to Saarland and the Main valley (K r i e g l s t e i n e r 1991, map). It does not occur in the Netherlands (A r n o l d s et al. 1995) and probably not in Poland (Wo j e w o d a 2003), but it was recently introduced to Saxonia and caused there (near Bautzen) in 2005 a severe case of poisoning, recorded in televi- sion and newspapers; the fungi were determined by the mycologist G. Zschieschang (W. Tietze in litt.). The case shows how advance of southern species has implications even to toxicology and popular mycology. Amanita vittadinii (Moretti) Vittad. is distributed in Europe mainly in the Medi- terranean region. Since 1942 it was observed in Netherlands near Delft, where it is stable for more than 50 years within a very limited area (A r n o l d s et al. 1995). Since 1986 is was observed in central Germany near Merseburg (D ö r f e l t 1989), and 1992 it was found in Hannover (W ö l d e c k e 1998). Up to date, there is no record from northern Germany, Poland, and Fennoscandia. Chalciporus rubinus (W. G. Sm.) Singer [Boletus rubinus W. G. Sm.]. Although originally described in 1868 from England, the main distribution of this rare species seems to be in France, Italy, Austria, Hungary, southern Moravia, and Bohemia (P i l á t , D e r m e k 1974). Since 1933 it was observed repeatedly in Saxonia in and near Dresden, 2000 ff. in Leipzig (K l e i n e et al. 2005), 2005 in Rühstädt at lower Elbe (D. Benkert in litt.); in the Netherlands it was found 1993 in Utrecht (A r - n o l d s et al. 1995). All records from Germany and the Netherlands are from old parks on alluvial riverside habitats. Cortinarius orellanus Fr. [Dermocybe orellana (Fr.) Ricken]. This is another poi- sonous mushroom which actually seems to be in expansion. In Germany it is rath- er frequent in the south-west, more rare in the other parts, and rare in the north (K r i e g l s t e i n e r 1991, map; O t t o et al. 1994, map). In Poland it is scattered mainly in southern and eastern Poland, but was recorded recently near Szczecin (Wo j e w o d a 2003). It is rare in Denmark and southern Sweden (north to Bohuslän and Gotland, L a r s s o n 1997), but a recent advance in southern Norway was docu- mented by B r a n d r u d (2001, map). Pulveroboletus gentilis (Quél.) Singer [P. cramesinus (Secr. ex Gilbert) M. M. Mo- ser] is regarded as thermophilic and calciphilic in Germany, where it occurs scat- tered in the southern and central parts (K r i e g l s t e i n e r 1991, map; O t t o et al. 1994, map), whereas it is rare in Poland (Wo j e w o d a 2003) and in the Netherlands (N a u t a , Ve l l i n g a 1995 “regarded as threatened”, map). In northern Germany recently a few localities have been recorded near Lübeck (U n g e r 1998) and 2003 near Schwerin (B. Westphal in litt.). Isolated localities are known from Denmark and Norway (K n u d s e n in H a n s e n , K n u d s e n 1992), whereas in Sweden it is 86 H. Kreisel known from several places from Skåne north to Götaland and Stockholm (L a r s s o n 1997, map). It is not clear, whether or not a recent expansion is occurring in northern Germany and Scandinavia. Scleroderma cepa Pers. The thermophilic species is rare in whole Germany, Po- land, and Netherlands, but is known also from Denmark and southern Sweden (H a n s e n , K n u d s e n 1997). Some more recent records from Lower Saxonia 1969 ff (W ö l d e c k e 1998), near Lübeck 1982 (U n g e r 1994) and 2005 in south-western Saxonia (Ch. Morgner in litt.) suggest a slight increase in frequency in central and northern Germany, but in northern Poland it was recorded by Te o d o r o w i c z al- ready 1939 near Gdańsk. Few mycologists in central Europe are really familiar with this species, but the useful and illustrated keys published recently in Italy and Spain will facilitate a more thorough study of the distribu-tion of S. cepa in next future. FUNGI OF XEROTHERMIC GRASSLAND Endoptychum agaricoides Czern. The secotioid mushroom, widespread in xeric climates of Mediterranean region, SE. Europe and central Asia, goes north to aouth- eastern Moravia and southern Slovakia. Only two outposts in the area considered here have been stated: 1941 near Sollentuna, Uppland in central Sweden (A r w i d s - s o n 1945; L a r s s o n 1997), and 1985 near Potsdam in eastern Germany (K r e i s e l 1995). Both localities were ephemerous and apparently independent of each other. Floccularia straminea (P. Kumm.) Pouzar [Armillaria luteo-virens (Alb. & Sch- wein. : Fr.) Gill. ss. auct. mult.]. This agaric occurs scattered in Bavaria and in central Germany till north of Harz Mts. (H e r r m a n n 1971; K r i e g l s t e i n e r 1991, map; G r ö g e r in K r e i s e l 1987), in Poland only in Tatry National Park (Wo j e w o d a 2003), but is lacking in the Netherlands, whole northern Germany, and most of Po- land, but a very few temporary outposts have been observed in Scandinavia: one in Buskerud, southern Norway (G u l d e n in H a n s e n , K n u d s e n 1992) and two in Sweden: about 1940 near Stockholm, and 1988 at Visby on Gotland (B o h u s - J e n s e n et al. 1990; L a r s s o n 1997). Gastrosporium simplex Mattir. The “Steppe Truffle” was observed since 1956 in many localities in central Germany, from Thuringian bassin till north of Harz (R a u s c h e r t 1962, map) and in the Rhine-Main disctrict (K r i e g l s t e i n e r 1991, map). Very few records exist from north-eastern Germany, where it was found at Seelow near Oder and at Altentreptow (D ö r f e l t , R a u s c h e r t in K r e i s e l 1987). In Poland, there are records from southern Poland and again in the Odra region at Bielinek nad Odrą (Š m a r d a 1957) and Pyrzyce (Wo j e w o d a 2003). Since 1980 the species is known from a few localities in Sweden: Skåne and Västergötland (K e r s 1980; L a r s s o n 1997). Geastrum pseudolimbatum Hollós. Our knowledge about this species is incom- plete, for it was not distinguished from G. coronatum PERS. by several authors. It is very rare in xero-thermic regions of eastern Germany (D ö r f e l t et al. 1979, map), but lacking in western Germany. There are two records in Netherlands (1929 and 1980, A r n o l d s et al. 1995) and two in Sweden (Skåne and Västergötland, S u n - h e d e 1989; L a r s s o n 1997), but none from Poland. Montagnea radiosa (Pallas) Šebek [M. arenaria (DC.) Zeller]. A frequent inhabit- ant of continental steppes and semideserts, it was discovered 1964 near Mücheln in Global warming and mycoflora in the Baltic Region 87 central Germany, where it still was confirmed in 1995 and 1996, and in a few other localities near Erfurt and Halle (R a u s c h e r t 1964; D ö r f e l t 1974, map; K r e i s e l 1987; D ö r f e l t , R i c h t e r 1996). Further outposts exist in Poland near Bielinek nad Odrą (S k i r g i e ł ł o 1977) and more recently near Pyrzyce in northwestern Poland and near Przemysl (Wo j e w o d a 2003). Up to date, the species is not known from western Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, and Scandinavia. Mycenastrum corium (Guersent) Desv. The rather well documented history of retreat and advance of this conspicuous nitrophilous puffball was largely described and discussed by K r e i s e l (1982, maps), D ö r f e l t , B r e s i n s k y (2003, map), and B e n k e r t 2004 (maps). It extended from south-eastern Europe or other continental regions to Germany where it was found 1860 and 1889 near Berlin, but then disap- peared for several decenniums. From 1960 to 1992 many localities have been noted in most of eastern Germany, but only one isolated locality could be recorded in west- ern Germany: 1982 near Heidelberg (W i n t e r h o f f 2000), and a doubtful record from the Fichtelgebirge Mts. After 1992 M. corium again became rare in eastern Germany, but in 2005 the species was still existent in a few localities near Anklam, north-eastern Germany. In Poland, the species is known since 1890 and is registered from scattered places in southern and central Poland (Wo j e w o d a 2003). In Scandinavia, M. corium was known as early as 1849 near Malmö, and a series of localities became recorded in Sweden from Skåne through Uppland till Umeå and, frequently, on Öland (L u n d q v i s t 1961; L a r s s o n 1997, map). There are a few records from south-western Finland and Åland islands (U l v i n e n in H a n s e n , K n u d s e n 1997). M. corium appeared 1961 on the Danish island Sprogø (HANSEN 1962) and 1976 on Bornholm (B o r g e n 1977), and 1992 in southern Norway (E c k - b l a d 1992). In the Netherlands, M. corium was observed 1976, 1977, and 1981 (A r - n o l d s et al. 1995), and further records were from Belgium and France. D ö r f e l t , B r e s i n s k y (2003) regard M. corium is an excellent indicator species for climatic changes (continentalization). A monitoring and continued mapping in far-reaching scale will be useful even in future. Pleurotus eryngii (DC.: Fr.) Quél. is very rare north of its Mediterranean and sub- mediterranean main area. There are a few records from the Netherlands (A r n o l d s et al. 1995), and two in Rheinland-Pfalz, western Germany (K r i e g l s t e i n e r 1991, map). An ephemerous record in 1916 near Elbląg (Elbing) in northern Poland is mentioned by Wo j e w o d a (2003). There are no records from eastern Germany, Denmark, and Scandinavia. Polyporus rhizophilus Pat. was known since 1930 in southern Moravia, 1935 in Slovakia, 1951 near Prague and since 1962 in the Bohemian Middle Mountains (Š e b e k 1962, map; K o t l a b a 1984, map). 1961 it was found near Mücheln in cen- tral Germany (D ö r f e l t 1974, map), 1977 near Bielinek nad Odra (S k i r g i e ł ł o 1977), and more recently near Pyrzyce in north-western Poland and near Przemysl (Wo j e w o d a 2003). 1990 it was found near Ribnitz in northeastern Germany (J. D u t y unpubl.). There are no records from western Germany, Netherlands, Den- mark, and Scandinavia. Tulostoma giovanellae Bres. [T. volvulatum Borszcz. ss. Hollós]. The mediterrane- an species appeared around 1900 near Kecskemét and Budapest, Hungary (H o l l ó s 1904), later in Wiener Neustadt, Austria (L o h w a g 1933), and again in Budapest (B o h u s , B a b o s 1977), 1971–1974 in Potsdam, eastern Germany (K r e i s e l 1984). 88 H. Kreisel All the central European occurrences had an ephemerous and synanthropic charac- ter, near house walls in towns. Tulostoma pulchellum Sacc. [T. hollosii Z. Moravec]. The species of wide conti- nental distribution (it is known from North America as T. poculatum V. S. White, and originally from Australia) was illustrated from Hungary by H o l l ó s (1904, as T. fim- briatum) and is known from south-western Slovakia and central Bohemia (P o u z a r in P i l á t 1958). Surprisingly it was collected 1967 - 1970 near Berlin (K r e i s e l 2004). Tulostoma squamosum J. F. Gmel.: Pers. The striking species has its main dis- tribution in the Mediterranean region and Middle East, but has been collected in Germany as early as in 19th century (1868, 1879) at several sites in Berlin where it now is extinct. More recent records are from other regions of Germany: 1956 ff. Kyffhäuser Mts. in central Germany (R a u s c h e r t 1956), 1962 Waren in north-east- ern Germany, before 1980 near Bruchsal in the upper Rhine valley and 1987 on the Frisian island Borkum (K r e i s e l 1984, map; Krieglsteiner 1991, maps; W ö l d e c k e 1998). A record from Poland was before 1991 near Toruń (Wo j e w o d a 2003), while the occurrence in Scandinavia is doubtful. DISCUSSION Since about 15 000 years, large areas in northern Germany and northern Po- land, which had been covered by inland ice during the last (Weichsel) glaciation of pleistocene, have been reoccupied by vegetation and by mycoflora - insomuch every species of Fungi which we actually observe in these areas, has reacted to a long-term global warming. It was the German microbiologist A u g u s t R i p p e l (in 1940, quoted in R i p p e l -B a l d e s 1955: 187) who assumed that the soil-inhabiting mould Aspergillus niger Tiegh. was spreading in Germany from south to north during postglacial period. Actually it is widely accepted that we are living in a period of ac- celerated warming, caused by human activities. It is to expect that this recent process is reflected also by changes in the mycoflora. If an organism seems to extend its distribution in a certain direction, two causes may be assumed: 1. the limits of distribution are really extending; 2. the knowledge of the organism is expanding from one region to the next one. Which of these facilities is real in a special case, can be decided only by comparison of similar cases in neighboured re- gions. In case that parallel evolutions, or continued expansions, have been noted in various regions and countries, it can be concluded that the taxon really has extended its area. Indroduction of additional organisms into a given territory may be due to two processes: either by anthopochory (neomycetes, as listed by K r e i s e l , S c h o l l e r 1994), often followed by a continuous expansion with broad front-line, or by spon- taneous expansion, often marked at first only by unstable outpost-like occurrence (astathomycetes, K r e i s e l 2004). Both kinds of processes may be combined, as de- scribed above in the cases of Clathrus archeri, Mutinus elegans, M. ravenelii, which have been introduced from other continents to Europe, but have expanded continu- ously their distribution on this continent in the frame of their climatic ecological amplitudes. Global warming and mycoflora in the Baltic Region 89 Apart of anthropochory and climatic evolution, a third factor seems to have in- fluence on expansion of fungal areas: the eutrophication, in particular with nitro- gen, by excessive and careless enrichment of landscape with nutrients and fertilizers. Mycenastrum corium is an excellent example for the changing frequency and dis- tribution of a nitrophilous species in eastern Germany in dependence of changing agricultural strategies. Most of the fungal species, suggested in the statements above as examples for expansion from south to north as a consequence of global warming, are wood-de- stroying Basidio mycetes (saprobes and tree parasites; section A). A lesser number of ectomycorrhizal Basidiomycetes (section C), and at least one of the soil-inhabit- ing saprobes (Agaricus bohusii, section B) can be added. In these categories, it seems that the greater river valleys with their floodplain forests and dunes (Rhine, Inn, Elbe/Łaba, Oder/Odra, and perhaps Vistula) have much favoured the expansion process from south to north - as can be noted in the cases of Auricularia mesenterica, Coriolopsis trogii, Pluteus aurantiorugosus, Agaricus bohusii, and Chalciporus rubi- nus. Category D, soil-inhabiting fungi of steppes and semide-serts, is the most prob- lematic in this context, for the main direction of their expansion seems to be more from east and south-east to west, and anthropochory and eutrophication apparently play an important role in expansion. Nevertheless, a “climatic continentalization” has been claimed as a factor for their unexpected and unstable appearence in central Europe (D ö r f e l t , B r e s i n s k y 2003). Strangely enough, no representant of Ascomycetes could be included in one of the four sections. It may be due to their mode of spore dispersal and their diaspore survival during long-distance transports, that Ascomycetes cannot respond to cli- matic changes in the same degree as Basidiomycetes.
