In the study of forest health condition in the area of National Park Djerdap (Serbia), it was observed that forests are exposed at many sites to detrimental impacts of both abiotic and biotic factors. In beech stands, 47 species of fungi were identified on the leaves, bark and wood (branch litter, stumps), of which 12 species have marked pathogenic properties, and amomg them the highest economic damage is caused by Nectria species. 34 species of parasitic and saprophytic fungi are identified on oak trees (sessile oak). Among these fungi, the most significant are those that develop as parasites and take part in the process of sessile oak dying. A great number of mushrooms were identified in the area of the National Park Djerdap. Out of 200 identified species 63% are edible fungi, 29% are valueless fungi from the aspect of nutrition (unpleasant taste, odour, toughness, etc.), and only 8% are poisonous species. Among edible mushorooms, very frequent mushrooms are boletus, catarella mushroom, pleurotus, horn of plenty, Amanista caesarea, parasol mushroom champignons and other very good quality edible fungi.
