The research was carried out between 2002 and 2004. Approximately 1465 vascular plant specimens, plants infected with microfungi or not, were collected from the area. At the end of the study of the host plants, 35 families, 114 genera, and 138 host plant species (151 taxa) were established. | Turk J Bot 30 (2006) 251-265 © TÜB‹TAK Research Article Microfungi Identified from the Flora of Ordu Province in Turkey Sanl› KABAKTEPE, Zeliha BAHÇEC‹O⁄LU* Inönü University, Science and Art Faculty, Department of Biology, Malatya - TURKEY Received: Accepted: Abstract: In this study, 101 species of microfungi and their hosts, which were found in Ordu Province are described.
