Armillaria spp. were studied in four regions of Central Bosnia during 2001. Samples ol plant tissue with mycelium, rhizomorphs and fruit bodies asmaterial for laboratory analysis were collected from or near the following tree species: Abies alba Pinus austriaca, Picea abies,Quereus petraea and Fagus silvatica
Obtained pure cultures were paired with haploid tester strains on mall-agar medium, and species identification was based on Buller phenomenon. In total, 24 isolates were analysed. I he most common species was Armillaria melea with 20 isolates. Ollier,
less Irequenlb lound species were agalica u (three isolates) and I cepistipes (one isolate)
Although A. cepistipes was expeeled in large a extent. since conifers were mam species in sampling area the results were no! surprising due to rather small area studied and (o small numbci ol isolates obtained . Further investigation of Armillaria species
focused on systematic collection of samples from larger area may bring dillerent results
