The forests of Bhadrachalam, Kothagudem and Paloncha of Khammam District in Andhra Pradesh, India were surveyed during 2007-2010 for micro- and macro-fungi colonizing litter, fruit, bark, humid soils, wood, dung and water, which revealed 131 species associated with diversified substrates of which 96 were micro-fungi and 35 being macro-fungi. Thirty four fungi were cultured, while the remaining could not be cultured. Sixty five species were found colonizing litter, whereas the rest were associated with other habitats of Bhadrachalam forest. Anamorphic fungi dominated the mycofloristics followed by Basidiomycotina. Mastigomycotina, Zygomycotina and Ascomycotina members.

Abstract


The forests of Bhadrachalam, Kothagudem and Paloncha of Khammam District in Andhra Pradesh, India were surveyed during 2007-2010 for micro- and macro-fungi colonizing litter, fruit, bark, humid soils, wood, dung and water, which revealed 131 species associated with diversified substrates of which 96 were micro-fungi and 35 being macro-fungi. Thirty four fungi were cultured, while the remaining could not be cultured. Sixty five species were found colonizing litter, whereas the rest were associated with other habitats of Bhadrachalam forest. Anamorphic fungi dominated the mycofloristics followed by Basidiomycotina. Mastigomycotina, Zygomycotina and Ascomycotina members.
