Boletes of the Balkan Peninsula

The knowledge of fungi in this part of Europe often remains hidden from European mycologists and for this reason the reader will find here a list of some sources on bolete mycota of the Balkans. Unfortunately, none of the Balkan countries has its own monographic treatment of Boletales. However, regional checklists of some countries are readily available (many of them also online) and are listed below.
