Distribution and Ecology of <i>Clathrus archeri</i> in Romania
Although <i>Clathrus archeri</i> is a widely spread species in the Western Europe, in Romania it is considered a rare species, identified from only eight sites. In July 2013, it was found in two new sites from Gurghiu and Bârgău Mountains, in the Romanian Eastern Carpathians. Th...

| Summary: | Although <i>Clathrus archeri</i> is a widely spread species in the Western Europe, in Romania it is considered a rare species, identified from only eight sites. In July 2013, it was found in two new sites from Gurghiu and Bârgău Mountains, in the Romanian Eastern Carpathians. This paper presents a detailed description of the new recorded specimens and of the habitat where this fungus was found. Plant communities where <i>Clathrus archeri</i> was recorded belong to the “mountain hay meadows” habitat type (<i>Festuco rubrae - Agrostietum capillaris</i> community). Taking into consideration the previous published data, the comparison with other habitats types in which this species occurs suggests that <i>Clathrus archeri </i>has no special preferences for certain environmental conditions. |
