Analyses of root mycorrhizal samples and monitoring of fruiting bodies of macromycetes from Norway spruce stands at mountain and foothill localities in the Krkonose and Orlicke Mts. (Czech Republic) provided several data series allowing to assess and compare (albeit somewhat preliminarily) mycorrhizal conditions and macromycete incidence related to stand ages and location conditions. The overall mycorrhizal conditions in young (10 years old) and older (80 years old) stands on formerly agricultural soils are comparable to those in 80- and 90-year-old forests growing on standard forest soils, but young spruce stands in the Orlicke Mts. replanted on forest soils do not surprisingly show any favourable mycorrhizal characteristics. The research documents a marked diversity of macromycete species composition in mountain spruce stands compared to foothill spruce stands on former agricultural soils. While in the younger mountain spruce stands of the Orlicke Mts. the expansion of macromycete species composition began to develop in a similar fashion to that in the Krkonose Mts., the comparison of older (80-year-old) stands on formerly agricultural soils in the Orlicke Mts. foothills and Krkonose Mts. implies that the macromycete species composition developed quite differently but with a similar success.
