Abstract

This study was carried out in Nagaon, Hojai and Morigaon District (Middle Assam) to document the morphological diversity of wood inhabiting macrofungi associated with horticultural crops in both the dry and rainy seasons of the year-2018. A total of 17 macrofungal species were collected and identified which belonged to 8 genera and 7 families. During the investigation, it was found that most of the macrofungi associated with horticultural crops were with hard and leathery texture whereas only 6 macrofungal species that grew in rainy season were found to be have soft consistency. Ganoderma lucidum was the most abundant species having highest density of occurrence (42%) followed by Ganoderma applanatum (34%) and Fomes fomentarius (26%).
