The Wielkopolski National Park is located in western Poland, near Poznań City. Its unique postglacial landforms are covered with various (semi)natural and anthropogenic ecosystems. The mycobiota of this Park has been studied for 90 years; however, current state knowledge is still insufficient. In 2018, a few-year- long project on the chorology, richness, and diversity of fungal biota of this area was started. In the first year, 312 taxa of macromycetes were found. Among them, 140 taxa were new for the biota of the Wielkopolski National Park. Five species (<em>Botryobasidium robustius</em>, <em>Hebeloma subtortum</em>, <em>Leccinum brunneogriseolum</em>, <em>Pachyella violaceonigra</em>, and <em>Sistotrema athelioides</em>) were new for Poland, and 26 taxa were new for the Wielkopolska region.

Wielkopolski National Park is a protected area located in central Wielkopolska, near Poznań City, and is an important refuge to numerous valuable species of plants, fungi, and animals. Through 2019, the project to recognize and catalog the macromycetes of this Park was continued. The current paper presents the results of these studies in the form of an annotated list of the recorded species. One hundred and eighty-nine taxa new for Wielkopolski National Park have been identified. Among these, nine are new to Poland (<em>Acanthophysellum </em><em>lividocoeruleum</em>, <em>Agaricus moellerianus</em>, <em>Callistosporium luteo-olivaceum</em>, <em>Entoloma terreum</em>, <em>Flammulina populicola</em>, <em>Leucoagaricus sublittoralis</em>, <em>Marasmius anomalus </em>var. <em>microsporus</em>, <em>Phaeohelotium rufescens</em>, and <em>Tulasnella danica</em>). The current number of fungal taxa found in this park is 1,122.

The article presents the use of nature in supporting the processes of teaching and developing children and youths. The surrounding natural environment, the outdoors, can be compared to a laboratory which provides an opportunity to use direct experiences, leading to a clearer interpretation of the natural environment. The purpose of the article was to determine the level of accessibility and use of valuable nature areas in Poznan county for educational purposes. In the article, the author presents the characteristics of the activitiescarried out by various organizations, i.e. the Konstantynowo Forestry Inspectorate and education centers in the Wielkopolski National Park. The discussion draws attention to the difficulties faced, such as the insufficient number of teaching staff in the centers, the lack of available dates or inadequate information provided to the age groups which often arise in trying to achieve the intended tasks. The goal set was implemented through the analysis of interviews with teachers and employees of these institutions (case study).
