“…Humphrey et al (2000) have established the connection between fungal communities and certain tree species as well as certain soil types. The importance of site properties such as soil, organic matter quality and vegetation characteristic to mushroom habitats has been considered by several researchers (Burova, 1974;Hosford et al, 1997;Kranabetter et al, 2002;Mirron, 1994;Villeneuve et al, 1989). Moreover, several studies have shown how the existence and composition of mushroom communities are affected by soil pH in forest ecosystems (Arnolds, 1982;Erland & Taylor, 2002;Humphrey et al, 2000;Tyler, 1985), as well as by soil nutrient levels (Harrington & Mitchell, 2005;Kranabetter et al, 2009;Rühling & Tyler, 1990).…”

The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between geological background and habitats of mushrooms. The study area is Grevena, a Prefecture of Greece well known for the great variety of the fungal flora and its distinctive geology. Thematic maps of the study area were produced with the use of GIS, taking under consideration geological formations, elevation, ecosystems and land use. Findings provide evidence that certain mushrooms are more likely to be found in specific ecosystems. The connection between forest ecosystems and the geology of the study area is more apparent, as certain forest types are related with specific geological formations; due to the insignificant presence of grasslands and riverine settings in the study area, it is not possible to assess the role of the geological formation for these mushroom habitats.
