In the frame of biodiversity investigation of the Bardaca floodplain in the Republic of Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina), the investigation of the presence and the diversity of macrofungi of the wider Bardaca region have been undertaken. The relative poor generic diversity of lignicolous macrofungi with only 21 species (11 families) representing this group has been recorded. Such a poor qualitative and also quantitative composition of this very important fungal group could be explained by heavy devastation of autochthonous plant communities, reducing them to the small number of plant associations of poor genetic composition. Consequently, drastic decrease of the diversity of ecological niches as fungal habitats was caused. Even though being preliminary, our results point to the necessity of conservation and protection of recent fungal diversity but, in our opinion, not by making so-called Red List of Endangered Species, which, due to the lack of information and very poor evidence on this group of organisms in the region under the consideration, are extremely unreliable and therefore disputable, but rather through the very short list of few not endangered species, conditionally called White List of not Endangered Fungal Species, if such species recently exist at all.
