Bracket fungus are a species of saprophytic and parasitic fungi. Their common feature is that they grow and develop on the wood. Saprophytic species of bracket fungus grow and develop on the dead parts of trees and shrubs, and the parasitic species feeding on the cost of living trees and shrubs, often resulting in them dying. The differences between parasites and saprophytic species of fungi on wood is not elear. It often happens, that parasites fungi after the death of the host becomes saprophytic. Then we have to deal with the facultative parasitism. A typical representative of this parasites group is Fomes fomentarius, infecting broadleaf trees or Heterobasidion annosum, causing white rot of coniferous trees.

The research aim was to evaluate the abundance and species composition of bracket fungus on the forest stand occurring around the trail (distance 20 m from the trail) leading to the peak of Igliczna.

Analysis showed that on the trail occurred 20 trees infected by 90 bracket fungus belonging to the five species.
