Contribution to the Macromycetes of West Bengal, India: 13–17

Macrofungi belonging to the phylum Basidiomycota are mostly used as medicinal mushrooms in many countries. In the present study, hundred basidiocarp of macrofungi were collected from Tamilnadu during rainy season. The basidiocarp was found in association with root/trunk of living trees, wood log and decayed matter. Among the hundred basidiocarp, 49 were grown into axenic cultures. Notable variations in the macroscopic characteristics of the basidiome and culture morphology were observed. To study the genetic diversity, the molecular taxonomy of the isolates was carried out using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 5.8S rRNA gene sequence marker. Thirty-two strains belonging to the order Polyporales, Hymenochataeles and Russuales under the division Basidiomycota were classified based on phylogeny analysis. This study provides first evidence for the occurrence of species Fulvifomes fastuosus (LDCMY39 and LDCMY43) and Ganoderma wiiroense (LDCMY02, LDCMY08, LDCMY11, LDCMY17 and LDCMY19) from southern India. Molecular evidence for the existence of Phellinus badius was given for the first time as well. These data enhance our understanding on the diversity of macrofungi in India, which could be further exploited for biomedical applications.

The present article reports five heterobasidiomycetous taxa, viz., Dacryopinax spathularia (Dacrymycetaceae), Exidia glandulosa, Pseudohydnum gelatinosum (Exidiaceae), Tremella fuciformis, and T. mesenterica (Tremellaceae), based on collections made from West Bengal, India, with their morpho-anatomical details. Dacryopinax spathularia is reported from Odisha and Uttar Pradesh while Tremella fuciformis and T. mesenterica are reported from Chhattisgarh.

“…Basidiomata of the P. petalodes were collected on 20th July 2021 during monsoon season (July–September) from the largest man-made forest, Changa Manga, Kasur, Pakistan. The Collected (wild) and harvested (cultivated) specimens were characterized macro-microscopically and phylogenetically according to the literature already available [ 13 , 19 ]. Morphological features such as size, shape and surface features of different parts of the basidiomata were recorded from the fresh specimens.…”

“…Podoscypha petalodes is also a stipitate stereoid and saprotrophic fungus whose life cycle is not clearly determined. It is a valuable fungus, produces a rosette shaped fruiting body on the basis of which it is commonly called as wine glass fungus [ 13 ]. It possesses significant antioxidant potential in the form of flavonoids and phenolic contents [ 14 ].…”
