Abstract

Republic of Armenia is a land-locked mountainous country characterized by an exceptional variety of climatic conditions and plant communities, which considerably affected the diversity of systematic groups of fungi, which is the objective of our research. In this chapter we review the current state of the Mycological research and Fungi in the Republic of Armenia.
