Boletus Mushrooms in South Bohemia

Description

This exhibition features a particularly attractive group of mushrooms – the boletus family, highly prized by mushroom pickers – and at the same time commemorates the 100th anniversary of the birth of Zdeněk Kluzák, who served as a mycologist at the South Bohemia Museum from 1975 to 1990. It is precisely the bolets that were the main subject of his mycological research. South Bohemia is a region characterized by the diversity of its natural habitats and the richness of its forests; most bolets are ectomycorrhizal symbionts of forest tree species. The exhibition will showcase species associated with more or less natural habitats, such as peat bogs, mountain spruces, marshy spruces, or flowering beech woods, but also species found in habitats heavily influenced by humans, or even newly created: in exploited forests, on pond dikes, in parks, or urban areas. Special attention will be given to thermophilic species, which have spread in the region over the past decades due to climate warming.
