The object of research was the Polyporaceae community, referred to Quercus robur L. in the oak forests of the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation (southwest of the Central Russian Upland). The subject of research was rare species from the Polyporaceae community, referred to Q. robur. This study applied phytopathological and mycocenological methods. The findings showdd that A rear species of wood-destroying fungi Buglossoporus quercinus [=Piptoporus quercinus] was found in the stands of overgrown oak forests of the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation (south-west of the Central Russian Upland). For the Belgorod region, this is species not referenced in the relevant regional sources.
