Synanthropic Process Evaluation (with Factors Affecting Propensity to Parasitism) and Host Range within the Genus <i>Ganoderma</i> in Central Europe
<i>Ganoderma</i> P. Karst. is a genus of wood decaying fungi with complicated taxonomy due to morphological variability of their basidiomata. Although a wide range of host plants is assumed for the genus as a whole, there is a need for revision of the host specificity of individual speci...

<i>Ganoderma</i> P. Karst. is a genus of wood decaying fungi with complicated taxonomy due to morphological variability of their basidiomata. Although a wide range of host plants is assumed for the genus as a whole, there is a need for revision of the host specificity of individual species.

Individual <i>Ganoderma</i> species were sampled differentially along vegetation categories, with <i>G. adspersum</i> (Schulzer) Donk prevailing in habitats with high anthropogenic factors and <i>G. applanatum</i> (Pers.)
