- Recent activity and current problems in conservation of fungal diversity in Bulgaria are discussed. The need for complex investigation, conservation, and monitoring of fungal diversity is presented. A preliminary red list of smut fungi in Bulgaria (as an example for redlisting of microscopic fungi), evaluated with IUCN criteria, is proposed, including 16 species: two Regionally Extinct (RE) (Ustilago bulgarica and Doassansia punctiformis), four Critically Endangered (CR) (Entyloma urocystoides, Urocystis aquilegiae, Microbotryum holostei, and M. jehudanum), three Endangered (EN) (Schizonella intercedens, Sporisorium schweinfurthianum, and Urocystis leimbachii), two Vulnerable (VU) (Microbotryum violaceo-verrucosum and Thecaphora thlaspeos), and five Data Deficient (DD) (Entorrhiza casparyana, Entyloma corydalis, Schizonella cocconii, Urocystis eranthidis, and U. junci). Information about their distribution, threats, and conservation actions is also given.
