Storage of pure cultures of rare macromycete species in connection with the prospects of reintroduction and translocation

The work discusses the problems of conservaton of rare macromycetes in culture. A collection of pure cultures of 8 representatives of this group has been compiled. A comparative analysis of pure culture storage methods was carried out. Both classic and modifi ed storage protocols have been studied. Particular attention is paid to the use of various cryoprotective compounds and carrier substrates in the cryopreservation of pure cultures of macromycetes. The need for individual selection and optimization of methods for storing pure cultures for various types of macromycetes is shown.
