Abstract
Results of studies of fungal communities - myceto-consortia formed by higher basidial fungi - macromycetes - of urban cenoses of the Seversk City, Tomsk Region - are presented. Some characteristics of myceto-consortia - heavy metal (Zn, Cu, V, Cd, Pb) content of the most widespread determinant macromycete consortia, a sanitary hygienic estimates of separate fungus species - are presented. Indicator species are prospected. Species composition of myceto-phages of some fungi as indicators of the state of the bio-system are proposed. The opinion of necessity and possibility of using the fungal communities for regional impact monitoring and monitoring of human environment, and as bio-indicators, is expressed.
