A survey of the corticioid fungi from the Biosphere reserve of Las Batuecas-Sierra de Francia (Spain)

• The Natural Park of “Las Batuecas-Sierra de Francia”, recently declared Biosphere Reserve in 2006, is situated in the south of Salamanca province in the central and occidental part of the Iberian Peninsula (40º 26' and 40º 35 N latitude, 5º 57' and 6º 15' W longitude) with and extension of 320 km2. The area presents a typical Mediterranean humid climate and the next main forest formations are present: deciduous forests of Quercus ilex subsp. ballota (Desf.) Samp., Quercus suber L., Quercus faginea Lam., Quercus pyrenaica Willd., Quercus robur L., Castanea sativa Mill., Arbutus unedo L., Eucalyptus camaldulensis Denhn.; coniferous forests of Pinus pinaster Aiton, Pinus sylvestris L., Juniperus oxycedrus L.; riparian formations of Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn., Salix spp. and Populus spp., among others.
