The cosmopolitan fungal genus Ganoderma is an important pathogen on arboreal plant hosts, particularly in tropical and temperate regions. It has long been used as a traditional medicine because of its medicinal properties chemical constituents. In this study, collections were made the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), encompassing parts Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, areas Yunnan Province, China. specimens study are described based micro-macro-characteristics phylogenetic analysis combined...
Intragenomic variation is the molecular within genome among repetitive DNA. As a multigene family, nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) has been widely used in fungal taxonomy for their ease amplification and suitable variability to attain various levels of taxonomic resolution. At intraspecific level, rDNA believed be under concerted evolution internal transcribed spacers (ITS) region actually accepted as universal barcoding marker fungi. However, documentation intragenomic indicated that it can...
Russula kanadii (Russulaceae, Basidiomycota) is described as a new species from West Bengal, India, and assigned to the subgenus Heterophyllidia, section Heterophyllae, subsection Virescentinae. A comprehensive description, photographs, comparisons with morphologically similar phylogenetically related are provided. Inferences of its phylogenetic relationships within genus provided based on sequence nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region.
Mushrooms have been prized by humankind as medicine and culinary wonder since antiquity. Though several species are ethnically valued; many prospective still being discovered. One such wild macrofungus has recently discovered during subsequent field surveys in West Bengal, India which turn exposed a traditionally consumed popular myco-food. The collected taxon was found to be unique with regard its morphological well genetical features. After detailed characterizations, the fungus identified...
India showcases an array of fascinating and rare mushrooms that grow exclusively in the wilderness West Bengal. Investigation on such traditional trerasure may provide exciting evidences for use favor human as they possess certain biological properties.
Members of the genus Tulostoma are commonly referred to as stalked puffballs that known be found in tropical and temperate regions. More than 155 species had been published worldwide, while 57 reported Asia. Herein, we present a brief review current findings through an overview recently literature involving taxonomic updates, diversity, distribution, sequence data Moreover, two specimens were collected during period from 2021 2022 northern Thailand. These identified T. exasperatum based on...
A new species of Russula (Russulaceae, Basidiomycota) is described from Darjeeling Hill, Eastern Himalaya, India. Morphological and molecular (nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region) sequence data assign the present to subgen. Incrustatula Romagn., sect. Lilaceinae (Melzer & Zvára) Konrad Joss. subsect. Melzer Zvára. Comprehensive description, photographs comparisons with morphologically similar phylogenetically related are provided.
An interesting bioluminescent fungus growing on dead bamboo stems was collected from forests in the East Khasi and West Jayantia Hills Districts of Meghalaya, Northeast India. Both morphological characteristics phylogenetic analyses nrITS nrLSU regions showed that belongs to genus Roridomyces is a new species science, as well first report genus, Roridomyces, Full descriptions, colour photographs, trees show position novel taxon, comparisons with its morphologically phylogenetically similar...
Russula buyckii, a new species of (subgen. Incrustatula, sect. Lilaceinae and subsect. Lilaceinae) is described from Eastern Himalaya, India. Its macro- micro-morphological features are in detail compared with those similar species. Identification categorization R. buyckii was supported by the molecular phylogenetic analysis based on nrDNA ITS sequence data.
