Fungal Culture Collection of Yugra State University

The collection comprises approximately 250 fungal strains, serving as a repository for the mycobiota of Western Siberia, with a special focus on the unique ecosystems of ombrotrophic bogs and coniferous forests. The collection is ecologically and biotechnologically diverse, encompassing several key groups: Saprotrophic fungi from peatlands (tagged bog saprotroph), with potential applications in the bioremediation of wetland habitats and the creation of peat-based fertilizers.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (tagged Mycorrhiza), which are candidates for the development of mycorrhizal inoculants. Medicinally significant fungi (tagged Medicinal), including species like Ganoderma and Hericium, relevant for the production of dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals. Cultivated and industrial strains of edible mushrooms (e.g., Pleurotus, Lentinula, Flammulina), obtained from commercial sources or store-bought fruiting bodies.
