ABSTRACT

Before this study nobody reported the diversity of macro-fungi from Parner tehsil. The present study report the variety of fungi (mycoflora) present in the selected study area of the Parner tehsil. For the correct identification, substratum habit diversity was examined. All species were collected from different locations and different substratum like decayed wood, dead wood, trees, soil, debris, etc. In the selected study area, 28 species of macro-fungi collected from 16 different families and 22 different genera. Seven species reported from family Agaricaceae. Three species were found in found in study area from both families Psathyrellaceae and Hymenochaetaceae. All the fungi belonged to the division Basidiomycota. The present study concluded that the Parner tehsil have great diversity of macro-fungi. Highest diversity of mushrooms was found in monsoon season. In this article, live photographs of macro-fungi collected from study area was provided for avoiding confusion in identification.
