Abstract [eng] The species diversity and distribution of fungi on decaying common oak (Quercus robur) coarse woody debris (CWD) was investigated in 50 circular study plots (each 0.1 ha in size) within oak stands of different age. A total of 203 fungal species was recorded on oak CWD. Among the 49 recorded ascomycetes, the most frequent were Eriopezia caesia, Humaria hemisphaerica, Mollisia cinerea and Nemania serpens. The largest part of fungi comprised basidiomycetes (154 species) among which Hymenochaete rubiginosa, Hyphodontia quercina, Phanerochaete velutina and Schizopora paradoxa were most common. Analysis of species composition based on the presence of fruit bodies on wood of different decay stages (DS) has shown a change of fungal community structure among slightly (DS I–II) and strongly (DS IV–V) decayed wood, though no strong preference of most fungi for wood of particular decay stage was observed.
