A Thirty one species of macro fungi which belong to phylum Basidiomycota and Ascomycota were found from three villages in Enggano Island. Among those, nine species are new records for Sumatera, namely Phellinus gilvus, Fomitella supina, Flaviporus liebmannii, Coriolopsis polyzona, Flabellophora sp., Trichaptum byssogenum, Stecherrinum sp., Stereum cf. pergameneum dan Trametes cf. villosa, whilst other two species, namely Cookeina cremeirosea and Fomitella supina are new for Indonesia. One species, Phellinus gilvus, has been known as a harmful parasite on rubber plantation. Six are recognized as edible mushrooms, namely Pleurotus ostreatus, Volvariella volvacea, Schizophyllum commune, Auricularia auricula-judae, Lentinus sajor-caju, and Panus neostrigosus. Two species, Favolus grammocephalus and Panus neostrigosus are therapeutic agents, and two others, Earliella scabrosa and Pycnoporus sanguineus are potential species as color degradation agents.

This current study is an ethnoecological study on land use for plant diversity by the Sasak people in Mandalika, Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara. Interview and direct observation methods were implemented. The study areas included the villages of Kuta, Mertak, and Sengkol. The results indicated four main groups of land: Leleah (a yard or home garden), bangket (rice fields, including the bangket gora; rice fields nurtured by rainfalls), kebon (gardens, including kebon kayo or garden of woody plants and kebon elalo or garden of crops), and gawah (forests, including gawah mali or sacred forests). This study results showed that despite the stress of a constantly changing environment and various restrictions and limitations, the ethnoecological knowledge in local wisdom is still maintained well.

The polypore mushrooms or polypores are distinguished by their binding and skeletal hyphae and typical poroid hymenophore. Huge beneficial ecological and anthropocentric values can be obtained from them. The taxonomy information about of this group of mushrooms in Indonesia is very limited and very difficult to find. This study was aimed to collect, characterize, and identify the polypores in Universitas Indonesia Depok Campus which has forest area. Sampling was conducted using broad survey method. Characterization, identification, and species description were performed based on morphological data, both macroscopic and microscopic examination. Seventy specimens which were collected consisted of 34 species from 22 genera, 7 families (1 incertae sedis), and 4 orders. Polyporales Gäum is the largest order (82,35% from all species found) with Polyporaceae and Trametes as the largest family and genus, respectively. This study discovered 17 new recorded species polypores for Java and 11 new recorded species polypores for Indonesia.

Lichen is an associated organism between fungi and algae. The research of lichen in Indonesia still inadequate, especially on the island of Java. Gunung Halimun Salak National Park is one of conservation area in West Java. The diversity of lichen in this area has never been reported. This study aims to provide preliminary information of lichen diversity in Gunung Halimun Salak National Park. This research was conducted in October 2019. All of the lichen specimens were carried out along the main road of Gunung Halimun Salak National Park. A total of 30 species were found in this study belongs to 18 genera and 10 families. The most dominant lichen species from Graphidaceae with crustose as growth form.
