Endophytic fungi exist asymptomatically within living tissues of host plants. The formation and coexistence of endophytic micromycete associations with mosses, ericoid, herbaceous and woody plants of Ukrainian Polissya sphagnum bogs were investigated along with the physiological properties of endophytes, plant pathogenic and soil isolates. The existence of endophytic micromycetes in plants of this ecosystem is a common phenomenon that integrates mosses, herbaceous and woody plants into the commo
