The distribution of the higher basidiomycetes of the Sibsagar district of Assam has been studies with the application of Poisson's probability distribution.

The fungi mostly occur in patches or pockets of podzolic soil formations having a rich forest cover, Agaricaceae occurring most commonly. The types of fungi were also classified as soil-inhabiting and wood-inhabiting, the former with sporophores submerged in the soil superficially.

The Poisson's probability distribution also explains the mode of distribution to certain extent provided the places of occurrence of these fungi are not disturbed markedly.

Abstract


The distribution of the higher basidiomycetes of the Sibsagar district of Assam has been studies with the application of Poisson's probability distribution.

The fungi mostly occur in patches or pockets of podzolic soil formations having a rich forest cover, Agaricaceae occurring most commonly. The types of fungi were also classified as soil-inhabiting and wood-inhabiting, the former with sporophores submerged in the soil superficially.

The Poisson's probability distribution also explains the mode of distribution to certain extent provided the places of occurrence of these fungi are not disturbed markedly.
