This study considers the prospective uses of relict plants in the landscaping of urban areas in Azerbaijan in terms of their resistance to pathogenic mycobiota. It used samples from nine relict plants from the local dendroflora, and cultivated and identified mycobiota. The study identified 65 species of Mycota, of which 84.6 % are conditionally pathogenic. The vast majority of species belong to Ascomycota, and representatives of the Basidiomycota and Zygomycota groups were represented to a lesser extent. The most common fungal diseases include spotted and multi-colored rot (about 75 %). The range of dominant pathogens in the relict plants under studies species-specific, which is a favorable condition for limiting the spread of disease in mixed stands. In general, relict trees have a high potential for resistance to pathogenic mycobiota and can be used in urban improvement.
