Spatial-typological differentiation of clavarioid mycobiota in Northern Eurasia

Abstract

The spatial heterogeneity of mycobiota species composition has been studied. Clavarioid fungi are used as a model group for mycobiota zonation of Northern Eurasia. The differences in the classification of mycobiota of these fungi resulting from the used coefficients of similarity, aggregation algorithms, and opinions of different interpreters are shown. A method of combining different classifications is proposed. A further study on a larger number of fungal groups would be more representative and would contribute to the creation of a unified biogeographic zonation of Northern Eurasia.
