Abstract
Micromycetes of the complex of typical chernozem saprotrophic fungi released phytotoxic metabolites into their growth medium. The metabolites displayed their phytotoxic activities directly in soil. Evaluation of the toxicity, range of biological effects, activity, and stability of the phytotoxins in soil, as well as of the rates of their biodegradation, made it possible to select species that can serve as indicators of microbial toxicosis of chernozem (Aspergillus clavatus, Fusarium solani, Talaromyces flavus, Penicillium rubrum, and P. funiculosum).
