ON THE COMMUNITIES OF FUNGI OF RAISED BOGS IN TAIGA BELT OF WEST SIBERIA. II. MICROFUNGI ON PLANT LITTER
Twelve plants were chosen for direct observation of their fungal consorts. Monitoring was done during August-September in 2012 and the whole vegetation season in 2013 on two raised bogs near Khanty-Mansiysk. We revealed about 200 taxa, only part of them are identified at the species level at present. The richest fungal community was recorded on Chamaedaphne calyculata (35 species) and Andromeda polyfolia (39 species). On average about 30 species of fungi was inhabiting on ericoid dwarfshrubs. Two bog herbs revealed relatively large fungal consortia: 24 species were collected from leaves and stems of Eriophorum vaginatum and 20 species from leaves, stems and petioles of Rubus chamaemorus. Other plants have less than 20 fungal species, minimal number of microfungi was recorded on leaves of Menyanthes trifoliata (6 species) and on Drosera anglica (9 species). Fungal consorts of different plants overlap to a small extent, most of microfungi were registered from one substrate. In the paper we describe fungal communities of plants and provide information on taxonomic position, substrate of collection, abundance and nutritional mode in the table.
