Abstract

Mushroom flora is an important component of the ecosystem and their biodiversity study has been largely neglected and not documented for the tropical moist deciduous forest regions of Bangladesh. This investigation was conducted in seven different areas of tropical moist deciduous forest region of Bangladesh namely Dhaka, Gazipur, Bogra, Rajshahi, Pabna, Jaipurhat and Dinajpur. Mushroom flora associated with these forest regions were collected, photographed and preserved. A total of fifty samples were collected and identified to fourteen genera and twenty four species. The predominant genera were Ganoderma sp. Lepiota sp. Marasmius sp. and Collybia sp. The entire mushroom flora and its morphological characteristics have been described and illustrated. This is the first investigation on mushroom flora associated with tropical moist deciduous forest region of Bangladesh.
