There are six primary forests in Bosnia Herzegovina. Beside the largest "Perucica" (1434 ha) and "Lorn" (300 ha), there are some smaller ones: "Janj" (next to town Sipovo), "Pljesevica" (next to town Bihac), "Trstionica" (next to town Kakanj) and "Ravna
vala" on mountain Igman (next to the city of Sarajevo) each having about 40 ha.
Fungi survey of mixed silver fir, spruce and beech primary forests "Ravna vala" and "Trstionica" were earned out during 2001-2003, and this is a first report on this topic showing that virgin forests are good reservoir of fungal diversity. Some very rare fungi like: Bondarzewia montana (Quel.) Singer, Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis: Fr.) Karst., Geastrum lageniforme Vitt., Hymenochaete cruenta (Pers.: Fr.) Donk, Ischnoderma
benzoinum (Wahl.: Fr.) Karst., Ischnoderma resinosum (Schradl.: Fr.) Karst., Meripilus giganteus (Pers.: Fr.) Karst., Sowerbiella unicolor (Sowerby: Fr.) Nannfeldt and Sparassis nemeci Pilat, that are not common in managed forest, were found here and it is suggested they to be protected.
