FACTORS DETERMINING THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE SPECIES COMPOSITION OF THE BIOTA OF WOOD-DESTROYING BASIDIOMYCETES
Abstract
The article discusses the problems of discovery of species composition of biota, including the biota of wood-destroying fungi. The subjectivity of identifying the species composition of the mycobiota associated with differences in the morphology of fruit bodies, their distribution in the environment and seasons, and also confinement to specific substrates and habitats are noted. We introduce the concept of “potential of record”, which reflects the objective and subjective reasons that determine the perspectives of the fruiting bodies of this species to be seen and taken into account during the research. The rating scale to assess potential of record of fungi is proposed. Based on the findings of fungi in the Orenburg region the analysis of their distribution by grade of potential of record is given. The prediction about the total diversity of wood-destroying basidiomycetes of the region is made; the prognostic evaluation of the mycobiota diversity is 850 species.Key words
Biodiversity, mycobiota, wood-destroying fungi, basidiomycetes, potential of record, potential species diversity.
