This is the first paper on higher edible fungi (macromycetes) and their spread in the region of Kichevo Valley.

Out of the total number of fungi in the territory of the Kichevo Valley, over 450 species of macromycetes are encountered and registered. A number of them are edible and commercial.Some of them in addition to nutritional and commercial value have medical significance.
