Fungi play an important role in biogeochemical cycle, especially in decomposition of organic matter. This study was aimed to investigate the diversity of macrofungi in the Warmare District, Manokwari, Province of Papua Barat. Samples were collected at a low altitude from 15 and 290 m a.s.l. with a temperature of 20o-29oC and humidity of 83-95%. The collected samples which were documented and identified result in 62 species representing 19 families (29 genera), and those four dominant families were as follows: Polyporaceae (14 species), Agaricaceae (11 species), Tricholomataceae (9 species) and Clavariaceae (7 species). Key words: macrofungi, diversity, Warmare District, Manokwari.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
