Description :
Seventy five mushroom flora were collected from Chhattisgarh Plains and Bastar Plateau of
Chhattisgarh State during survey of mushroom fungi conducted during monsoon season in the year 2005
and 2006. These cultures were purified, some of them were sent to
Directorate of Mushroom Research,
Solan (H.P.) for further maintenance and some specimens were preserved in formalin. The mushroom
flora commonly encountered during survey were:
Agaricus
sp.
Tuber
sp.,
Russula
,
Boletus,
Volvariella,
Lactarius, Lepiota
etc.
During the extensive survey of Chhattisgarh Plains and Northern Hilly Regions in
2005, 25 mushroom fungi and their species during monsoon season were collected from different
substrates. Two species of
Termitomyces
and
Russula
were predominantly
observed from most of the
locality. During survey of mushroom fungi from Bastar Plateau of Chhattisgarh in 2006, 50 mushroom
fungi were collected and identified during monsoon season. Out of these, 20 fleshy fungi were edible, 23
were non edible and
Ama
nita citrina
was poisonous. Other mushroom fungi viz.,
Boletus lipidus
,
Clavaria
sp,
Collybia platyphylla
,
Collybia acerbata, Clitocybe geotropa,
Gromphidius vicidus
,
Hydrophorus
protensis
,
Lactarius picinus
,
Lapiota sp
.,
Maramuss rcorodomius
,
Pholiota
apida
,
Russula crescens
,
Scleroderma verrucorum
,
Termitomyces robustus
,
Tuber spp
.,
Volvariella volvacia
,
Volvariella sp., Xylaria
ploymorpha
and
Xylaria
sp., were found to grow widely on natural substrate.
