“…The Sanctuary is comprised of five compartments (Fig. 1) (Hazarika & Gupta 2005;Chetia & Kalita 2012;Gogoi & Parkash 2014) and these compartments show some heterogeneity in terms of size, vegetation composition, canopy density, anthropogenic pressure, topography, soil moisture and soil nutrients (Ghosh 2007). Stratified random sampling technique was used to collect data from different compartments of the sanctuary.…”

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 Coprinellus disseminatus and Megacollybia rodmani have shown the highest (8.26) and the lowest density (0.05), respectively. A total of 24 species, e.g., Termitomyces albuminosus, Marasmius curreyi, Marasmiellus candidus, Leucocoprinus medioflavus, Mycena leaiana, Hygrocybe miniata, Collybia chrysoropha, Gymnopus confluens were common with frequency percentage of 11.9, whereas Megacollybia rodmani with less frequency percentage (2.4) was found only in few quadrates of the sanctuary. The highly abundant species were Termitomyces medius (91.7) and Coprinellus disseminatus (86.8), and less abundant species were Psilocybe wayanadensis (1.0) and Lepiota sp. (1.0) in the study site. The order of the species richness index (R) compartment wise was 2>3>4>5>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.<div> </div>

“…Identification of the specimen was carried out by standard microscopic methods (Roy & De 1996) also considering various morphological characteristics of mushrooms such as their size, colour, presence or absence of volva, stipe, ring, scales, reticulum, zonation, striation, warts, cap, areolae, and gills. Identification of the specimens were carried out by standard microscopic methods (Gilbertson & Ryvarden 1986) using microscope (Olympus BX-50). All the dry mushroom samples were deposited in the mycology division under the Forest Protection Department of ICFRE-Rain Forest Research Institute, Assam for future reference.…”

The northeastern part of India is one of the biodiversity hotspots having a wide variety of flora and fauna. High humidity during monsoon provides ideal conditions for the growth of diverse group of macrofungi. Mizoram is one of the northeastern states of India which has a large number of edible and non-edible mushroom species. Wild edible mushrooms are an important food source for rural communities of Mizoram and provide additional income to the households if sold in regional markets. The key objective of this study was to explore the macrofungal diversity, and its richness in Mizoram with the aim of preparing a checklist along with the present geographical distribution of the important wild edible mushrooms. The macrofungal survey was undertaken during 2017–2020 in 24 different sites in Mizoram. A total of 152 (54 edible and 98 inedible) mushroom species have been documented belonging to 85 genera, 54 families, and 19 orders. Habitat-wise distribution of macrofungi revealed that maximum species were found on soil (61), followed by associated with roots (36), dead wood (30), living trees (22), and associated with termite mound (three). From a morphological point of view, the wild mushrooms have been divided into gilled fungi (95), boletes (18), polypores (17), coral fungi (10), chanterelles (3), puffballs (3), jelly fungi (3), stinkhorns (2), and cup fungi (1). This documentation of wild mushrooms of Mizoram will be a reference database for future.

“…The stinkhorn--(genus Phallus Junius ex L.) is classified under the family of Phallaceae of order Phallales, which are easily identified by its foetid odour, saccate rhizomorph containing volva, unbranched sponge like pseudostipe with extremely attached olive brown to dark brown slime containing the spore mass (gliba) and occasionally a skirtlike indusium 20 . All species under the Phallaceae are short-lived 21 , begin their development as an oval or round shaped structure termed as "eggs" (early stage of basidiocarp) but mature basidiocarp show drastic variation of colour and pattern, thus distinguish different species of this genus 2021 .…”

Cancer is identified as the first or second leading cause of death in 91 to 172 countries and it is also ranked as third and fourth in an additional 22 countries 1,2 . Cancer is one of the major public health problem and the second leading cause of death in the United States 3 . It has been estimated that in 2020, 1,806,590 new cancer cases may occur in United States and among them 606,520 cancer death has been projected 3 . In India cancer is ranked as second leading cause of death in the urban area and placed at fourth in rural areas 4 . In India, 1.15 million new cancer patients were recorded in 2018, and it is predicted to almost double by 2040 4 . Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation and it may appear in different forms such as lung, breast, colon, skin, blood cancer etc. 5 . In India, it is now cause of catastrophic health spending, calamity financing and rising expenditure before death [4][5][6][7][8] . The invasiveness and mortality rate of the cancer vary among different forms, lung cancer is highly fatal with a very high death rate of 70%, followed by colon cancer and breast cancer 5 .The most commonly used potential strategy for treating cancer is the use of various chemotherapeutic drugs along with radiotherapy 9 . Chemotherapeutic drug should be target specific to cancer cells, and should not affect the normal cells. But most of the chemotherapeutic drugs available in the market, show various adverse effects on the normal cells 10,11 . There is an urgent need for the further development of safe anticancer drugs to counteract these negative consequences of the existing drugs. This study aims at the identification of alternative anti-cancer drugs preferably from natural sources with minimal collateral damages to normal cells 12 . Mushroom contain wide range of bioactive compound such as different variety of phenols and flavonoids 13 , polysaccharides, glycosides, alkaloids, volatile oils, tocopherols, carotenoids, organic acids 14 and may act as a potential alternative substitute for naturally occurring anti-oxidants, anticancer,
