Introduction
The Wielkopolski National Park (Polish: Wielkopolski Park Narodowy; WPN) is a lowland nature protection area in western Poland, ca. 15 km SW from Poznań City. The area of the WPN is composed of one major fragment bordering with the Warta River and divided by two major roads: a national road, DK5, crossing the park between the villages of Szreniawa and Stęszew, and a provincial road, No. 430, between the villages of Luboń and Mosina, and a few exclaves near Wielkawieś and Długosławiec and within Puszczykowo villages. The WPN is surrounded by several large villages (e.g., Luboń, Mosina, Puszczykowo, and Stęszew) and many small ones; several small settlements are also located within the Park area (Figure 1). The WPN was established in 1957 and enlarged in 1996. The total area of the WPN is 7,619.8 ha, while its buffer zone is 7,383.2 ha. The WPN is located in the Wielkopolskie Lakeland (Polish: Pojezierze Wielkopolskie) macroregion, in the mesoregions of Grodzisk Heights (Polish: Wysoczyzna Grodziska), Śrem Basin (Polish: Kotlina Śremska), and Poznań Gap of the Warta (Polish: Poznański Przełom Warty) (Solon et al.,2018). The whole area of the WPN is a part of the Ostoja Wielkopolska Natura 2000 protected area. The terrain sculpture of the WPN was formed by a glacier during the Weichselian glaciation; the major part of the Park area is ground moraine height, furrowed by tunnel valleys (Bartkowski,1972; Krygowski,2007). The watercourse network of the WPN is scanty, limited to the Samica and Wirynka rivers, and a few nameless streams. Much richer is the system of standing water, composed of several ribbon lakes (Figure 2), small, more or less circular lakes located in the deepest parts of the tunnel valleys and some periodic reservoirs. The soils of the WPN are mostly of postglacial origin, formed of gravels, sands, and clays, mainly brown leached soils and podzolic soils (Borowiec,1971,1973). Richer soils are present in dips of the land (black soils, muck soils, or peat soils) (Borowiec,1973). The WPN area is dominated by forest ecosystems. The most important trees occurring in the WPN are Pinus sylvestris, Acer platanoides, A. pseudoplatanus, Alnus glutinosa, Betula pendula, Carpinus betulus, Fagus sylvatica, Populus tremula, Quercus petraea, Q. robur, Q. rubra, and Tilia cordata (Żukowski et al.,1995). On the maps of potential natural vegetation, the dominating forest type in the WPN is Gallio-Carpinetum, while the other types are Salici-Populetum, Querco-Pinetum, Calamagostrio-Quercetum, Potentillo albae-Quercetum typicum, Fraxino-Alnetum, Leucobryo-Pinetum, and Ficario-Ulmetum chrysosplenietosum (Matuszkiewicz,2008). In fact, most of the WPN area is covered with substitutive forest communities with the domination of Pinus sylvestris, Quercus spp., and Carpinus betulus. Nonforest areas occurring in the Park are either (semi)natural (grasslands, meadows, fens, and reed beds) or anthropogenic communities (fields, pastures, road margins, gardens, and parks).
The first data on fungi from the surroundings of Poznań was provided by Pfuhl (Pfuhl,1896,1898) at the end of the nineteenth century. At least some of them concerned the area currently included in the WPN (e.g., forests in the vicinity Mosina, Wiry, or Szreniawa). Regular mycological studies in the WPN began in 1928 by N. Szyndlerówna and have been continued to the present day. Part of these results have been published in numerous monographs (Bałazy,1988; Domański,1965,1991; Domański et al.,1967; Lisiewska,1961; Nespiak,1975,1981,1990; Skirgiełło,1998,2000), articles (Bałazy,1982; Bujakiewicz,1973; Bujakiewicz & Fiebich,1992,1993; Danielewicz & Maliński,1999; Domański,1955,1960; Dzięczkowski,1961; Fiedotjew,1936; Jesse,1947; Kujawa, Gierczyk, et al.,2012; Lisiewska,1965,2011; Lisiewska & Madeja,2003; Młynarek,1971; Pfuhl,1896,1898; Raszka,1994; Skirgiełło,1976,1984; Skirgiełło & Wosińska,1963; Szulczewski,1931; Teodorowicz,1932,1933; Wojewoda,1977,1979), and conference proceedings (Bujakiewicz,1992), while others remain unpublished in master’s theses (Fiebich,1989; Pawlak,1977; Skowrońska,1986; Susicka,1994; Szyndlerówna,1928; Wilczyńska,1994) and expertises (Bujakiewicz & Fiebich,1991; Bujakiewicz & Szambelańczyk,1997). The total number of taxa mentioned from the WPN in 2017 in published and unpublished materials is 814, including species of uncertain status (Kujawa,2017; Lisiewska,2011). Among them, 622 were listed in published reports. In 2018, a new project on the fungal diversity in the WPN started. In the beginning, the number of taxa known from the WPN and mentioned in all available sources was verified; the hitherto known mycobiota of this Park composed of 786 taxa. Moreover, 50 species of uncertain status have been reported in published and unpublished materials. In this paper, an annotated list of localities of 140 taxa, new for the WPN, and found during the first year of the study is presented. The list of taxa previously reported from the WPN and confirmed in 2018 is also enclosed.
Material and Methods
Specimens were collected in 2018 from March to November, using the route method. All types of habitats in the WPN were checked during the field studies. Forest compartment numbers were given after the Forest Data Bank (https://www.bdl.lasy.gov.pl/). The specimens collected were identified using standard methods used in fungal taxonomy, i.e., analysis of micro- and macrocharacters using a binocular or optical microscope. Standard staining techniques using aqueous ammonia solution, 10% KOH in water, Congo red in ammonia, Melzer reagent, sulfovanilin, and aniline (cotton) blue in lactophenol were applied. Specimens were identified using the following general keys and atlases: Funga Nordica (Knudsen & Vesterholt,2008,2012), Nordic Macromycetes (Hansen & Knudsen,1992,1997,2000), Flora Agaricina Neerlandica (Bas et al.,1988,1990,1995,1999; Noordeloos et al.,2001,2005), Die Nichtblätterpilze, Gallertpilze und Bauchpilze (Jülich,1984), Fungi of Switzerland (Breitenbach & Kränzlin,1984,1986,1991,1995), and Pilzkompendium (Ludwig,2000,2001,2007,2007,2012,2012,2017,2017). The following monographs and taxonomic papers were used: Agaricus (Parra,2008,2013), Conocybe and Pholiotina (Hausknecht,2009), Crepidotus (Consiglio & Setti,2008), Hebeloma (Beker et al.,2016), Hypocrea (Jaklitsch,2009,2011), Peziza (Hohmeyer,1986), Scutellinia (Schumacher,1990), Boletales (Ladurner & Simonini,2003; Lannoy & Estades,1995), Strophariaceae (Noordeloos,2011), polyporoid fungi (Bernicchia,2005; Ryvarden et al.,2017), corticioid fungi (Bernicchia & Gorjón,2010). Specimens of Ascomycota were also identified based on the keys, iconography, and descriptions provided in a DVD edition by Baral & Maron (2005). For the taxa mentioned in Funga Nordica 2 (Knudsen & Vesterholt,2012), the names given in this monograph have been used (except for a few taxa, as indicated on the species list), other names have been used as recommended in MycoBank Database (http://www.mycobank.org/). The data on the distribution in Poland were compiled based on the checklists of Polish micro- and macromycetes (Chmiel,2006; Mułenko et al.,2008; Wojewoda,2003) and the database of Polish mycological literature (Kujawa,2018). The threat categories were given based on the “Red list of the macrofungi in Poland” (Wojewoda & Ławrynowicz,2006), the protected species – according to the Regulation of the Minister of Environment (2014). Dry specimens were deposited in B. Gierczyk private fungarium and Turew Field Station of the Institute for Agricultural and Forest Environment of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Discussion
Dry and warm summer in 2018 drastically limited the richness of fungi observed in the WPN. Remarkably poor fructification was noted for agaricoid fungi, e.g., no Inocybe or Cortinarius specimens were collected. In total, 312 taxa of macrofungi were observed in the WPN in 2018. Among them, 140 have not been previously reported from the WPN. Five species have been collected for the first time in Poland (Botryobasidium robustius, Hebeloma subtortum, Leccinum brunneogriseolum, Pachyella violaceonigra, and Sistotrema athelioides). Another 26 taxa were new for the Wielkopolska region. Some taxa observed in the WPN are very rare and have been found in the recent years for the first time in Poland (e.g., Crepidotus malachius var. trichifer, Leucogyrophana romelii, and Resinicium furfuraceum) or were even recorded as new to Poland in 2018 from the Wielkopolska region, independently of the project conducted in the WPN (e.g., Helicogloea lagerheimii). Two taxa regarded as extinct in Poland (Dendrothele dryina, and Phlebia subochracea) were also collected in the Park. The current number of taxa known from the WPN is 975 (including those of uncertain status). The presented results and analysis of available data suggest that further studies should be focused on wood inhabiting fungi, especially the polyporoid and corticioid taxa, as well as on ascomycetes because the richness and diversity of these groups in the WPN are underestimated and are poorly known. The continuation of the studies in the WPN would also permit confirmation or verification of the occurrence of the taxa reported from this area in the first half of the twentieth century, which has not been observed again since then, e.g., Auricularia mesenterica, Geastrum lageniforme, Gyromitra leucoxantha (Jesse,1947), Clavulina amethystina or Discina ancilis (Jesse,1947; Teodorowicz,1933); some historical data had already been confirmed in 2018 (e.g., the occurrence of Botryohypochnus isabellinus, Macrolepiota excoriata, and Panaeolus cinctulus). Depending on the weather conditions in the coming years, the results of the planned field research may be miscellaneous, as the fungi growth and sporocarps development depend strongly on weather conditions. Regardless of the method of study, i.e., permanent plot, transect, or random route methods, the biology of fungi implies that the research duration should be of at least 5–6 years (Friedrich,2008; Szczepkowski & Kujawa,2018). Moreover, the extent of the area and high habitat diversity in the WPN suggest that even a few-year-long inventory will provide incomplete data on the fungal richness, chorology, and diversity. Therefore, independent, multifaceted mycological scientific projects should be initiated in the WPN.
