Keywords:
Azerbaijani forests, xylotrophic macromycetes, edible species, occurrence frequency, biochemical compositionAbstract
Edible species of xylotrophic mushrooms distributed in forests located in different areas of Azerbaijan were comprehensively studied in the conducted researches. It was determined that 13 species corresponding to this characteristic are distributed in the studied forests.They also differed from each other in terms of their frequency of occurrence, relationship to the substrate, the approximate amount of fruiting body (FB) they formed under natural conditions, the amount of biomass (VM) they formed in the vegetative growth phase, as well as the toxicity and biochemical composition of BF and VM. Nevertheless, among them, it was determined that there are species that can be used successfully for both food, and was obtained information containing the scientific and practical
basis of their effective use.
