Abstract

Western ghats of Tamilnadu contains varieties of wild mushrooms. Macroscopic fungi were collected from Western Ghats of Tirunelveli District, especially Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve & Range in Tamilnadu to document their distribution and diversity. Gilled mushroom are short lived, abundant soon after the monsoon where as the Polyporus species could be collected for a prolonged periods. The present survey includes 45 species from different habitats. Maximum number of species were belong to the family Polyporaceae followed by Ganodermataceae. The most common genera are Polyporus. This is the preliminary survey of collection and identification of macroscopic fungi as this has not been done in this part of Western ghats. This study also envisages further study on the predominant three mushrooms Calocybe indica, Laetiporous sulphureus, Gleophyllum sepiarium were collected. Then Cultivation parameters, ptimization, separation, characterization and estimation of mycochemicals by TLC and GCMS studies were analysed for selected mushrooms.
