Study of the Ecological Biodiversity of Fungi in the
Garayazi State Nature Reserve
Abstract
Fungi are considered the largest group in the world of soil microorganisms. Fungi, which are
considered as the main saprophytic organisms of heterotrophs, perform numerous functions in the
formation of the soil, in the qualitative change of its mineral and organic composition, and in the
creation of biocenosis relationships. Their habitat is soil and they are distributed in all soils. However,
they are mostly recorded in acidic forest soils, in conditions where the activity of bacteria is limited.
For the first time, the biological diversity of the mushrooms of the Garayazi State Nature Reserve has
been revealed. 152 species of mushrooms belonging to 4 classes, 20 orders, 26 families, and 45 genera
were discovered for the Garayazi State Nature Reserve based on the determination of the collected
military materials and literature materials. In the mycobiota, the main place is occupied by
basidiomycetes, followed by cystic and incomplete fungi. Uredinales (25 species), Perenospora (17
species), Srhariales (14), Erysiphales (10), Hyphales (11), Agaricales (10) play a crucial role in the
mycobiota of the reserve. For the first time, the mycobiota of the Garayazi State Nature Reserve was
systematically studied. An ecological-systematic analysis of fungi was carried out, distribution
patterns and species composition of disease-causing fungi were revealed.
