Abstract
Discina parma Breitenb. & Mass G. was described in 1973. from Switzerland, where it grew on soil rich in wood remnants in moist forest of Fraxinus, Ulmus, Corylus and Picea, at the alt. 570 m. Later it was found growing on prostrate Fraxinus trunk. Now it has been found in mountainous areas of Slovenia (Yugoslavia): on Gorjanci, at an altitude of 1080 m, in beech forest (Isopyro-Fagetum Kosir 1962), growing on dead beech bark, branch and trunks, and at Rajhenavski Rog, at 895 m ait., in the fir forest (Abieto-Galietum ocLorati). In the latter locality only some sterile specimens were found, also on beech wood, but, because of their macroscopic similarity and similar ecology, are considered as probably belonging to the same species. The Yugoslav specimens and their spores are somewhat larger than those in the Swiss material, which may be explained by the fact that they were fully mature when collected. It is to be expected that this species will be refound in other beech forests in Yugoslavia, particularly in nature reserves, as well as elsewhere in Europe.
