Abstract (eng)
In the course of this diploma thesis, a qualitative inventory analysis of fungi was conducted at Vienna's Central Cemetery. From August 1979 to February 2015 a total number of 172 fungal records (107 taxa) were made at Vienna's Central Cemetery and were examined with regard to their characteristics, ecology and systematics. Most of the records were registered in the years 2008 - 2015 (79 species). The Vienna Central Cemetery covers two geographical grid squares (quadrants) of the floristic mapping of Central Europe, North (7864/2) and South (7864/4). The fungi were mostly collected by Thomas Barta and Irmgard Krisai-Greilhuber and identified by Irmgard Krisai-Greilhuber and Christian Scheuer. First, the trophic modes of fungi are described and an insight into the biology of fungi and their functions in the ecosystem is given. This study includes essential aspects, such as climatic and geological conditions, as well as vegetation and soil conditions for fungal growth. The aim of this diploma thesis is to present a qualitative description and documentation of the fungal taxa at Vienna's Central Cemetery. Particular attention is paid to the distribution of the different ecological groups of fungi and to the relationship between fungi and the local conditions. The main focus is therefore on the precise description of the different taxa. It gives an insight into systematics, ecology, site conditions and micro- and macroscopic characteristics of the species. Furthermore, the list of species provides an overview of the fungi occurring at the Vienna Central Cemetery and the diagram illustrates the distribution of the ecological groups on a percentage basis.
