Scientific projects supervision
1. RFBR 1995-1996. № 95-04-11485а. Subject : «Agarics of the Perm Territory».
2. Grant by the Nature Preservation Committee at the Perm Region Administration – 1996.
Present scientific work
The subject of scientific research is Biota and Ecology of Agarics of the Perm Territory. At present about 900 species and intraspecific taxa of agarics are known. Researches cover almost all the administrative and natural regions.
The structure of ecological groups of mushrooms connected with autotrophic plants: mycorrhiza-forming mushrooms, xylotrophs, litter and humus saprotrophs, etc., is defined; their distribution on various geobotanical districts of the Region and their meaning for forest ecosystems are shown. Edible, poisonous, medicinal mushrooms are revealed, as well as rare species included into the Red Book of the Perm Territory.
Changes of the mycobiota in 10 types of the south taiga subarea (Dovryansky administrative region) and disturbed communities (Chernyaevsky woodland park, gas route section from Yamburg to Tula in Dobryansky region, outskirts of the synthetic cleansing agents factory and Sylva poultry farm) are being monitored. Processes accompanying anthropogenic transformation of mycobiota are being studied. Bioindicative significance of mycology indices in the environmental quality estimation is being clarified.
