During spring April-June 2015 I had collected many microfungal specimens (over 200), some smut and rust fungi and downy mildews from Rostov region (Southern European Russia). Also my colleague had given me about 100 analogical specimens from Arkhangelsk region (Nothern European Russia, White sea coast of Russia) and Krasnodar region (Caucasus, Black sea coast of Russia) some days ago.
If you or your colleagues are interested in these microfungal specimens, we are ready to send them (gratuitously) to you for any scientific research in systematic mycology or any close field of science.
Excuse me, but for some reason I did not have time now to make a detailed check-list and to identify all specimens (especially because some of them maybe new species or needed in eutypification). Here are just basic taxa. Perhaps I accept new taxa in the list. You can ask me about anything, to clarify the information.
Please, see Attachment.
Some photo of infected plants (the specimens collected by my colleague Gennady Okatov) from Russia you can find here

Are anybody interested?
Preliminary taxa check-list of fresh specimens from Russia collected in 2015 (Archangelsk region – conifer forest zone, Rostov region – steppe zone, Krasnodar region – subtropical forest zone)
Also I have large private collection with old microfungal specimens (2005-2014) from Southern European Russia (include plant pathogens and saprobic species). I can send them also if you need.
General check-list is here (book)

Dear Timur, for sure I would be interested
in smut specimens. If there are specimens of which the data is interesting for a publication we usually work like that: Marcin Piatek works on morphology (LM + SEM), I work on molecular phylogeny and you will be included as author, too. Could you provide a list of host plants on which you have smut specimens available?
Would be nice to cooperate with you!
Cheers
Matthias
Dear Timur - I can look at the rust fungi from a morphological point of view as I am retired and do not have lab facilities to do DNA PCR. I could ask Dr Gareth Griffith in Aberystwyth University (Wales, UK) to do the latter as he has post graduate students working on rust DNA at present. My address will be available if you need it. As with Matthias at Teubingen - host plant list will help a lot.

Thank you, collegues! I'll answer you in email.
So for Mr. Lutz and Mr. Stringer - I can send you rust and smut fungi. We have large collection - which taxa are most interesting for you? See book - link above.
Dear Timur - I am interested in the fungal specimens belonging to the Pucciniales (rusts) which are numbered 1589-1776 in you lists.
my email address is
[email protected] so if you email me I can then send you my postal address and we can correspond more easily.

Hi Timur,
We would be interested in all isolates that are able to be grown on regular malt agar slants. We use the fungi to find novel molecules, so the identification is not important unless we find interesting chemistry. Our collection of 53,000 isolates from many different countries currently has none from Russia and we would welcome this addition. Our company website is: http://www.mycosynthetix.com
Thank you,
Blaise A. Darveaux
Hi, Timur
Any collections of mushroom-forming fungi? I am interested in polypores, especially Sparassis from Russia.
Thanks,

Hello Timur,
If you have any infecting insects, I would be very interested to see them.
Thanks,
Thank you for answers, dear colleagues. I sent personal messages for all...
Hi Timur,
I would be interested in aphyllophoroids (polypores, corticioids, ...) from the Caucasus. I have been working on checklists for the Caucasus region (available in the list of my publications). Do you or your colleagues possibly have such specimens?
Hi Masoomeh!
Yesterday I had returned from Northern Caucasus. But I had no interesting corticioid/aphyllophoroid, I hunted mostly on Ascomycota...
