Two fungal-like organisms (class Oomycetes) and 263 species of fungi from 111 genera, 42 families, 23 orders and 7 classes in the territory of the nature reserve Aksu-Zhabagly were found. Twenty two species were found for the first time. The vast majority of species are parasitic (202 species), 56 belong to saprotrophs and 7 - to symbiotrophs. The classes Taphrinomycetes, Urediniomycetes and Ustilaginomycetes are presented exclusively by parasites. The class Ascomycetes has 21 species of saprotrophs, 27 parasites and 4 symbiotrophs. From the class Basidiomycetes the largest group of humus saprotrophs has 15 species, litter saprotrophs and parasites - 4 species each, symbiotrophs - 3 species, coprotrophs and xylotrophs - 2 species each, litter and humus saprotrophs - 1 species. Anamorphic fungi are represented by 91 parasitic species and 11 saprotrophs. In comparison with closely spaced Sairam-Ugam national park and the Karatau nature reserve mycobiota of Aksu-Zhabagly is characterized by a significant number of species from the classes Basidiomycetes, Urediniomycetes, Hyphomycetes and Coelomycetes. Thirty one species are common to these protected areas. The most numerous group of them are parasites.
