“…The study promotes awareness to harvest and exploit this underutilized local resource, which will provide nutritious food and employment opportunities especially to the disadvantaged groups (i.e. unemployed and old people) (Kumar et al, 2013;Sachan et al 2013;Tanti et al, 2011;Tibuhwa, 2013).…”

Wild edible mushrooms (WEM) are known for its medicinal and nutritional value across the globe. WEM have become one of the most prized after food especially in the developed countries where people are mostly health conscious. The present study throws light on the diverse flora of WEMs of Nagaland and how it can be income generator for the tribal people with proper research in this aspect. Till now, the knowledge of distinguishing between edible and non-edible varieties is only confined to people who go for mushroom hunting. As such the indigenous knowledge remains with only those few people involved. The current data can pave the way for future research work and also make people aware of the many varieties of WEMs available in the state. A total of 33 WEMs were collected and identified during the peak mushroom season of the state i.e. from end May to September of every study year.

“…The carbohydrate content of edible mushrooms usually ranges from 40.6% to 53.3% of dry weight (Khanna et al 1992; Several dozen species of wild fungi are sold in the market of north-eastern India and most are ectomycorrhizal (Tanti et al 2011). Kumar et al (2013) collected fifteen edible/ medicinal mushrooms of Nagaland and worked out them for protein, crude fiber, carbohydrate and ash content. Tapwal et al (2013) made a collection of 30 macrofungal species belonging to 26 genera from wet evergreen forests of Assam, northeastern India and investigated their ecological relationship with higher trees and documented their utilization as per available literature.…”

“…The diversity of Russula species has been explored in different parts of the west district of Sikkim, India (Das 2010;Das et al 2010;Das andVerbeken 2011, 2012). Recently, three new species, i.e., R. sharmae, R. sikkimensis, and R. dubdiana were reported from Sikkim, India (Das et al 2013) We collected, identified and analyzed the nutrient content of fifteen mushroom species from different forest of Nagaland recently (Kumar et al 2013).…”

Abstract. Kumar R, Tapwal A, Pandey S, Raja-Rishi R, Mishra G, Giri K. 2014. Six unrecorded species of Russula (Russulales) from Nagaland, India and their nutrient composition. Nusantara Bioscience 6: 33-38. The young and matured carpophores of mushrooms were collected from the forests of Puliebzie, Zakhama, Pherma, Mankoi, Chungtia, and Tigit located in different districts of Nagaland, one of the north-eastern states of India. All the species were found associated with Pinus khasya, P. caribaea, P. patula, Cryptomeria japonica, Canarium resiniferum, Dipterocarpus macrocarpus, and Shorea assamica. The collected mushrooms were identified as Russula species on the basis of their macro and microscopic characteristics. The identified Russula species were also screened for their nutrient content. The protein and carbohydrate content was found to vary between 28.12 to 42.86, and 49.33 to 55%, respectively. These species [Russula aeruginea Lindblad; -Fr., R. alnetorum Romagnesi, R. brevipes Peck, R. fragrantissima Romagnesi, R. nobilis Velen. and R. ochroleuca (Pers.) Fr Gray.] are a new record from Nagaland state of India.

Aims: To describe the current status of A. delicata emphasizing on the key parameters; occurrence, classification, molecular studies, nutritional and medicinal benefits, cultivation status, and future development perspective. Place and Duration of Study: China–Zambia Agricultural demonstration center and Engineering Research Center of Chinese Ministry of Education for Edible and Medicinal Fungi, Jilin Agricultural University, China between July 2019 and June 2020. Methodology: In this study, various literatures were reviewed for each parameter studied. Findings were deduced from current literatures and discussed. Results: The screening of bioactive contents of A. delicata revealed the presence of phenolic compounds; chlorogenic, flavonoids, and ethyl acetate, polysaccharides; Chitosan, fibers, β-glucans, mannans, chitin, and melanin. These substances exhibit hepatoprotective effects, antioxidant activities and antimicrobial activities against some microbes like Candida albicans, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecium, Streptococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli. A. delicata also contains several nutrients namely; protein, vitamin B2, vitamin C, and minerals; Potassium, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, that play a vital role in human growth and development. Moreover, its cultivation using various technologies provides an opportunity for high yield production. A. delicata was recently studied at Jilin Agricultural University and domesticated in Heilongjiang province in the northeastern part of China. Due to the similarity of its fruiting body with the structure of the deer tripe, it was assigned a common name as “Deer tripe mushroom”. A. delicata mycelia are capable of growing on several culture media with different nutritional profiles, optimal temperatures and pH values. It is cultivated under tropic temperatures ranging from 25°C-30°C, optimal pH of 6.5, and humidity 80-90%. The commonly used media include; Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), Yeast Extract Agar (YEA) and Malt Extract Agar (MEA). Conclusion: Therefore the above mentioned significant properties (occurrence, nutritional, medicinal, and cultivation) provide a foundation for further research on the development and utilization of A. delicata.
