Morphological Characterization of Macro Fungi Associated with Forest Tree of National Botanical Garden, Dhaka
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
This investigation was conducted in National Botanical Garden, Dhaka located at 24°00′ N (Latitude), 90°00′ E (Longitude) to document the morphology, diversity and distribution of macro fungi during the rainy seasons of July to October, 2015. A total of 23 macro fungi samples were collected and identified to 20 species under 10 genera and 10 families. The predominant genera were Ganoderma sp., Lepiota sp., Daedeleopsis sp., Russula sp., Psythyrella sp., Lycoperdon sp., Crepidotus sp., Psilocybe sp, Flammulina sp. and Cantharellus sp. The survey revealed that six species are edible, thirteen species are inedible but among them nine species have medicinal value and only one species of unknown uses. The maximum density of occurrence was exhibited by Psilocybe cubensis (45%) followed by Lepiota sp. (40%), Ganoderma pfeifferi (35%) and Ganoderma lucidum (25%). The specimens were deposited to Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Herbarium of Macrofungi (SHMF). The present investigation emphasized the existence of a distinct biodiversity in macrofungi population at National Botanical Garden, Dhaka.
