The paper presents the pathogenic mycobiota associated with ornamental deciduous trees and shrubs as well as flowering plants grown in the green spaces of the city of Bucharest. The observations were carried out in 2020-2023 in the Herastrau Park, the Bazilescu Park, the Dendrological Park and the Botanical Garden on the USAMVcampus and adjoining streets. Ornamental plants are attacked by various pathogenic species of fungi from Ascomycota and Basidiomycota phyla. During the study, symptoms produced by 47 species of fungal pathogens, belonging to the phylum Ascomycota, included in 11 orders (Erysiphales, Rhytismatales, Glomerellales, Helotiales, Diaporthales, Capnodiales, Taphrinales, Mycosphaerellales, Venturiales, Myringiales, Pleosporales) were observed. From the Basidiomycota phylum, 10 species belonging to 4 orders (Pucciniales, Agaricales, Entylomatales, Polyporales) were identified. Fungal species were identified based on symptoms induced in plants and on morphological characteristics of pathogens.
