FORMATION OF A MODERN LIST OF SPECIMENS OF LEVEILLULA G. ARNAUD TURKUM KEPT IN THE MYCOLOGICAL HERBARIUM FUND

Abstract

This article provides information about the Leveillula genus of powdery mildew fungi distributed in Uzbekistan. During the study, herbarium specimens of this genus, stored in the Mycological Herbarium of the Institute of Botany of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan (TASM), were inventoried. Their names were clarified based on international mycological databases - Index Fungorum and MycoBank, and a modern list was formed. As a result, 7 species and 103 forms, a total of 110 taxa, were identified, and mutually synonymous taxa were distinguished. During the study, it was found that these fungi occur in 41 families, 126 orders, and 188 host plant species. The most common host plants include representatives of the Fabaceae, Compositae, Lamiaceae, and Apiaceae families.
