<p>Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary is comprised of five distinct compartments.  A total of 138 species of gilled mushrooms belonging to 48 genera, 23 families, five orders of the class Agaricomycetes, division Basidiomycota, have been collected and analyzed. The order Agaricales was was found with the highest number of species (113), followed by Russulales (14), Polyporales (5), Cantharellales (4) and Boletales (2). The species <em>Coprinellus disseminatus </em>and <em>Megacollybia rodmani</em> have shown the highest (8.26) and the lowest density (0.05), respectively.  A total of 24 species, e.g., <em>Termitomyces albuminosus, Marasmius curreyi, Marasmiellus candidus, Leucocoprinus medioflavus, Mycena leaiana, Hygrocybe miniata, Collybia chrysoropha, Gymnopus confluens</em> were common with frequency percentage of 11.9, whereas <em>Megacollybia rodmani</em> with less frequency percentage (2.4) was found only in few quadrates of the sanctuary.  The highly abundant species were <em>Termitomyces medius</em> (91.7) and <em>Coprinellus disseminatus </em>(86.8), and less abundant species were <em>Psilocybe wayanadensis</em> (1.0) and <em>Lepiota</em> sp. (1.0) in the study site.  The order of the species richness index (<em>R</em>) compartment wise was 2&gt;3&gt;4&gt;5&gt;1. Both the Shannon diversity index and Simpson diversity index of agarics was maximum (1.88, 0.98) in compartment 2, whereas minimum (1.72, 0.95) in compartment 1 and 5, respectively.  Moreover, the compartment 2 was found very much similar with compartment 3 and very less similar with compartment 1.</p><div> </div>

Knowledge of species composition and diversity are of utmost importance, not only to understand the structure of a forest community but also for planning and implementation of conservation strategy of the community. An extensive field study was undertaken to ascertain the structural composition, species diversity and community association of two forest sites i.e. Nambor Wildlife Sanctuary (NWLS) and its South-Westward extended Bornewria forest of Assam, India. The forests represent Tropical moist semi-evergreen and moist mixed deciduous type. The entire area was embraced with a fragmented block of Gondowana formation. A total of 261 plant species were observed from the two forests sites in floristic assessment. Out of which 247 species were recorded from NWLS and in Bornewria forest 136 were enumerated. The overexploitation and shifting cultivation adversely affected the total forested area and species composition of Bornewria forest. Phytosociological studies showed that Vatica lanceaefolia (15.47) followed by Magnolia hodgsonii (10.97), Castanopsis hystrix (10.02) and Mesua ferrea (9.56) were dominated in NWLS. However, in case of Bornewria forest, Hydnocarpus kurzii expressed its dominance with highest IVI values (15.98), followed by Dysoxylum excelsum (13.52), Mesua ferrea (12.37) and Stereospermum tetragonum (11.87). Plant species diversity was quantitatively higher in NWLS in comparison to Bornewria forest because of ecological destabilization and disturbance in their natural abode. Study on regeneration status of NWLS revealed that 67.42% trees were naturally regenerated. Mesua ferrea and Vatica lanceifolia were the most ecologically successful species with IVI of 7.66 and 5.27 in the seedling stage. In Bornewria forest site 42 regenerating tree individuals were recorded. The maximum quantity of seedlings of Hydnocarpus kurzii was noticed in the forest which showed mass regeneration status of the species. Both the forest desires to curb the anthropogenic disturbance, so that protect the integrity of the forest.

This research paper represents for the first time an updated list of stinkhorn family, Phallaceae, in Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary, Jorhat, Assam, India. There are seven species of stinkhorns naturally present in the study area. A description of all the species is given along with images of fruiting bodies of the fungi and their microstructures; information on the ecology and general distribution and data on the literature have been documented. The seven species of stinkhorns were found in and around area of the sanctuary which include Phallus indusiatus, Phallus duplicatus, Phallus cinnabarinus, Phallus merulinus, Phallus atrovolvatus, Mutinus bambusinus, and Clathrus delicatus.

Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary (HGWLS), Jorhat, Assam is mainly famous for Hollock Gibbon and other six primate species found in the sanctuary. A total of 22 gasteroid fungal species belongs to 9 genera, 4 families, 4 orders, 2 sub-classes and 1 class, have been found in the study site. The family Agaricaceae (8 spp.) is highly dominant in the study site followed by Phallaceae (7 spp.), Geastraceae (4 spp.), and Sclerodermataceae (3 spp.). The name of the gasteroid fungi species along with their occurrence percentage are Phallus indusiatus (9.46), Phallus duplicatus (3.55), Phallus merulinus (1.42), Phallus cinnabarinus (1.18), Phallus atrovolvatus (0.95), Mutinus bambusinus (17.73), Clathrus delicatus (0.47) belong to stinkhorns; Scleroderma cepa (0.71), Scleroderma verrucosa (2.36), Scleroderma citrinum (3.55) belong to earthballs; Calvatia rubroflava (0.95), Calvatia cyathiformis (0.71), Bovista longispora (5.91), Bovista plumbea (3.31), Bovista dermoxantha (10.64), Morganella pyriformis (1.18) belong to puffballs; Geastrum schweinitzii (7.09), Geastrum lloydianum (4.96), Geastrum saccatum (13.0), Geastrum coronatum (4.02) are earthstars and Cyathus striatus (3.07), Cyathus hookeri (3.78) are bird's nest fungi.
