“…The present study revealed that a total of 217 different morphotypes were collected from eight different districts of Tripura and 55 mushrooms were collected from West Tripura District, whereas previous findings (Debnath et al 2017) showed that West Tripura contained 22 morphotypes. There are few reports on mushrooms in Tripura (Debnath et al 2017(Debnath et al , 2019(Debnath et al , 2020a) but a study on mushroom diversity of the state of Tripua has not been conducted earlier. Baptista et al (2010) recorded a total of 2677 carpophores belonging to 73 species across 16 families and 23 genera in the Tra´s-os-Montes region of Northeast Portugal, which also showed more or less dissimilarity with our finding.…”

The tropical region, which has the highest macrofungi diversity, has not been fully exploited instead of this is an important component of the global diversity. However, no work has been carried out to assess such diversity in Tripura. Since tropical forests are diverse in plant composition and structure, hence the objective of this study was to explore the mushroom species richness in Tripura, Northeast India with the aim of producing a checklist along with their present geographical distributions, key identification characters and valid photographs. Field surveys and collection of mushrooms were carried out in Tripura covering different sites during 2015–2018. Data on macrofungal diversity, distribution patterns and taxonomic identification were analyzed. A total of 217 wild mushrooms were documented from eight districts of Tripura, northeastern India. Out of 217 samples, 202 samples were identified up to the genus level, 125 samples were identified up to the species level. A total of 76 genera belonging to 60 families and 25 orders were classified in this ecological study. The majority of macrofungi belong to the family Polyporaceae (30 nos), and order Agaricales (103 specimens). The wild macrofungi were collected from 56 sites of eight districts of this state and the maximum macrofungi diversity was recorded from Sepahijala District. Present findings also observed that the maximum wild fungi of this state grow on different plant parts. This is the preliminary study on documentation of wild macrofungi from eight districts of Tripura, northeastern India and it will be used as a reference database of wild mushrooms of this state, which will also help in future research work in different fields.
