THE PECULIARITIES OF ARTIFICIAL REPRODUCTION OF RARE WOOD-BREAKING MUSHROOMS OF THE PRIMORSK TERRITORY, THEIR FOOD AND MEDICINAL PROPERTIES

This article describes some rare wood-destroying fungi that grow on the territory of Primorsky Krai, and the opportunities for their full use are offered by an artificial breeding on large areas. The observations on the natural development of valuable red-listed tree-destroying fungi are conducted on the territory of the forest area of Primorsky State Agricultural Academy "The Relict of Primorye" for almost 15 years. In the forest area of the PSAA, after the selective cutting of Mongolian oak, felling residues infected with mycelium provide the annual yields of valuable edible and medicinal fungus after 5-10 years, without any further human intervention. This principle of the natural spread of plant species is taken as the basis for the cultivation of wood-destroying fungi on the entire territory of the "Great Vladivostok" green zone.
