The forest vegetation of the Transdanubian Mountains and the Northern Mountains are the richest, and hence well represents the Middle European fungi flora. A lot of habitat specialist species live on the sandy and sodic soils of the Great Plain. In the west part of the country, owing to the alpine climatic effects, alpine species occur. The similar studies from Finland (Hackman and Meinader 1979) cover the characteristic fungi of North Europe, therefore these two studies give information about most of Europe. In the course of the Hungarian research 410 taxa (381 species, 11 varieties, 9 forms and 9 sp.) of fungi were collected. 1758 rearing samples were produced (Dely-Draskovits 1972), but 25% of the samples did not yield to any flies. In the further evaluations only the 1305 samples producing flies are discussed, these samples represent 344 taxa of fungi (333 species, 5 varieties, 2 forms and 4 sp.). The following numbers of samples belong to the different geographical regions: Western Fig. 1.
