Discovery of the cup coral: Sensation in the Rhön Natural Waldreservat!
in the Lösshag Natural Waldreservat, which is part of the UNESCO biosphere reserve Rhön, the extremely rare cup coral (artomyces pyxidatus) was recently discovered. According to the rangers of the nature park, which were able to demonstrate this fascinating mushroom type, the cup coral in Bavaria is threatened with extinction and requires undisturbed old forests and dead wood as a habitat. This discovery, which is a sensation, illustrates the importance of protected process forests for endangered species. As early as 1978, the Lösershag was shown as one of the first natural whale reserves in Bavaria and is known for its impressive biodiversity and the geological conditions with ancient trees and volcanic block rubble dumps, such as Mainpost.de reported.
forest conversion work in the nature park
In the meantime, diversions of the hiking trails are required in the Schornhecke area due to forest conversion measures. This was communicated by the Bavarian administration of the UNESCO biosphere reserve Rhön and the Oberelsbach market. The Schornhecke, a well-known goal for hikers at the Bavarian-Hessian state border, is expanded to an area of 60 hectares, which was integrated into the core zones of the biosphere reserve in 2014. The habitat in this region has been threatened by cold weather and long dry phases in recent years, which is particularly concerned with the spruces planted there - these are not native and are now removed to make room for local deciduous tree species. These efforts aim to promote the natural forest development in the long term, such as Biosphaerenreservat-rhoen.de communicated.The combination of these two events emphasizes the importance of preserving natural habitats. While the cup coral represents a ray of hope for biodiversity in the region, the challenges of climate change urgently require measures to adapt the forest structure. The rangers and corresponding authorities take on a decisive role in protecting these unique ecosystems.
