The diversity of mycoflora is crucial for determining the overall health of an ecosystem, yet it has received less attention compared to floristic diversity. An integrated taxonomical approach was used to understand the diversity and systematics of the gasteroid fungus Geastrum in the tropical mixed forest of Butea and Tectona in India's Lower Chota Nagpur Plateau. Geastrum triplex, identified as a collared earthstar fungus, exhibits distinctive characteristics, including onion-shaped to obpyriform young basidiomes, a round umbo at the apex, a pseudoparenchymatous layer around the base of the sessile endoperidium, and a delimited fibrillose peristome. The present study provides a comprehensive morphological description coupled with illustrations, SEM image of basidiospores, distribution and ITS based phylogenetic analysis of Geastrum triplex and moreover, contributes to the distributional records in the Lower Chota Nagpur Plateau regions of India.
