MICROMYCETES OF CONTAMINATED SOILS AROUND KAJARAN CITY (ARMENIA)

Abstract

In the current research, we investigated soil micromycetes-decomposers around Kajaran City. As a result of the studies, 30 micromycetes were identified as belonging to 16 genera of which 1 belongs to Basidiomycota, 1 – to Mortierellomycota, 3 – to Mucoromycota, and 11 – to Ascomycota. Changes in the species composition and some morphological features of soil fungi are observed depending on the industrial pollution.
