Species composition of xylomicobiota of some woody plants distributed in Azerbaijan
Abstract
The presented work was studied according to the species composition of fungi participating in the formation of xylomicobiota of natural forests located in the territory of various economic regions. During the study, 51 species of fungi belonging to the Basidiomycota division of xylotrophic macromycetes were discovered on 30 species of woody plants. The recorded fungi are characterized by a wide diversity in terms of the color of the decay they cause, their ecotrophic relationships, hyphal systems, their relationship to substrates, and other characteristics. Thus, 84.3% of the recorded fungi are eurytrophs, 80.5% are white rot-causing fungi under natural conditions, and 86.4% are polytrophs in terms of ecotrophic relationships.
