Study of Macrofungi in the Kemerovo Region - Kuzbass

The group of macrofungi, which play a key role in nature communities, have not yet been sufficiently studied in the Kemerovo Region. The generalization of data on the macromycetes of the region and the processing of part of the funarium of Kemerovo State University (Kemerovo State University) made it possible to compile a list of species and analyze it. To date, a total of 723 species of macrofungi in the Kemerovo region, belonging to 380 genera, 166 families, 39 orders, and 10 classes of the divisions Ascomycota and Basidiomycota are known for region. The main biooenoses inhabited by macrofungi are diverse forest communities: small-leaved (birch, aspen-birch, birch-aspen, aspen), coniferous (fir, spruce, spruce-fir, pine-spruce, small cedar forests and deciduous forests) and various variants of mixed forests with or without various types of herbaceous cover. The vast majority of macrofungi prefer living and dead wood (about 70%), forest litter and soil as a substrate, decomposing plant litter or entering into symbiotic relationships with plants (about 30%). There are 34 specially protected areas in Kuzbass, one third of which are the habitat of species listed in the Red data books of the Russian Federation and Kuzbass.
