Siller, Irén, Vasas, Gizella , Pál-Fám, Ferenc , Bratek, Zoltán , Zagyva, Imre; Fodor, Lívia: Hungarian distribution of the legally protected macrofungi species

Justification: Rare all over Europe, even more rare in Hungary. The main reason of its retreating is the small and decreasing size of its habitat. Known Hungarian records: LUKÁCS and KIRÁLY (1995): Őrség: Bajánsenye. BP: Őrség: Bajánsenye (in silva mixta). Private collection of F. Pál-Fám: Börzsöny: Királyrét (Luzulo-Fagetum). Private collection of B. Dima and L. Albert: Őrség: Fekete-tó (Galio rotundifolio-Fagetum), Heves-Borsodi-dombság: Tarnál

elesz (Luzulo-Fagetum), Mátra: Parádsasvár (Luzulo-Fagetum), Börzsöny: Vár-hegy (Luzulo-Fagetum) (ALBERT and DIMA 2005). Cortinarius paracephalixus Bohus (Agaricales, Cortinariaceae) Cap: 5-12 cm diameter, ochre, brown ochre, rust-yellow; surface slimy, slightly shiny when dry, the skin can be peeled off. The young fruit-body is entirely covered by a white, fibrous universal veil, the edge of the cap remains with white fibres for long. Gills: decurrent with tooth; pale clay-coloured when young, becoming ochraceous brown when old. Stem: clavate, whitish, later brown ochre, surface covered richly by white, then ochraceous brown veil, later breaking up forms small belts. Flesh: whitish, ochre, more or less becoming red, then after several hours these places blackening; scent is reminiscent of corn silk. Life-strategy: mycorrhiza. Occurrences in Hungary, habitats: From September to November, in mixed deciduous forest of sandy soil, in gallery forests, first of all near White Poplar (Populus alba) (BOHUS 1976). Distribution, frequency: European data are very limited (BREITENBACH and KRÄNZLIN 2000). Rare in Hungary, it may be regarded as a European endemism. Hungarian red list category: 2. Justification: In Europe it is only known from Hungary, therefore its legal protection is highly recommended. Known Hungarian records: BABOS (1989, 1999): Horány (in silva arenosa), Bugac (in Junipero-Populetum), Fülöpháza (in Junipero-Populetum), Algyő. RIMOCZI (1994): Jászberény (in populeto), Budakalász (in populeto), Bugac (in populeto), Fülöpháza (Junipero-Populetum albae). Private collection of L. Albert: Bátorliget, Alsónémedi, Kecskemét. Private collection of B. Dima: Budapest: Soroksár (under Populus alba) (ALBERT 2003), and Nyírség: Bátorliget.
