Some Unrecorded Wild Mushroom of Different Forest Regions
Keywords:
Edible fleshy fungi, collection, identification, morphologyAbstract
Several edible fleshy fungi grow wild in Eastern Uttar Pradesh forest during the rainy season on dead and decaying plant or animal remains. Local tribes collect a number of mushrooms and eat during rainy season. The traditional identification knowledge among the tribes are followed from generation to generation. The bio-diversity in the mushrooms is least documented in India. The germ plasm collection of such mushrooms is very poor. These fleshy fungi are obviously nontoxic as these have been intimate human consumption since antiquity. However there are only few species of fleshy fungi which have been accepted as safe food by the civilized world, while many fleshy fungi have not yet recognized. Field survey was conducted for collection of various edible fleshy fungi from different localities of the Eastern Uttar Pradesh forest. The collected edible fleshy fungi were studied for their macroscopic detail partening the habit, habitat, morphology and other phenotypic parameter noted in fresh form.
