Wild edible fungi are fleshy, edible fruit bodies of macro fungi which are literally consumed by humans for their nutritional and medicinal values since time immemorial. The present study aims to document ecological relationship and utilization pattern of wild edible fungi as an important source of food consumed by the Bodo tribes of Chirang district of Assam, North-east India. Owing to their rich biodiversity, a variety of wild edible macro fungi have been collected from forest fringe areas of Chirang reserve forest during rainy period. A total of 14 macro fungal species representing 12 genera from 10 families belonging to the order Agaricales (64.3%), Polyporales (21.4%), Auriculariales and Phallales (7.2%) were collected. The ecological relationship shows that maximum species were saprophytic in nature (10 no's) along with some parasitic and symbiotic species. Overall four edible and medicinal species were recorded for the first time from Chirang district of Assam. Among them Termitomyces sp. (83.3%) showed maximum frequency whereas Dictyophora sp. and Ganoderma applanatum showed minimum frequency (16.6%). Maximum density was recorded for Macrolepiota procera (7.6) and minimum density was recorded for Ganoderma applanatum (0.16.). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
