Abstract

Surveying of mushroom species diversity in Faculty of Science, Ubon Ratchathani University was conducted during June to August in the year 2019 to 2022. In total, 45 mushroom species were found, which were grouped into 2 Phyla. 39 species were in Phylum Basidiomycota; which were further classified into 6 Orders and 15 Families as following; Order Agaricales, Auricularieales, Boletales, Cantharellales, Polyporales and Russulales; Family Agaricaceae, Amanitaceae, Auriculariaceae, Boletaceae, Cantharellaceae, Coprinaceae, Clavulinaceae, Entolomataceae, Ganodermataceae, Marasmiaceae, Nidulariaceae, Polypolaceae, Russulaceae Sclerodermataceae and Tricholomataceae. On the other hand, 6 species belonged to Phylum Ascomycota. All of them were classified as a member belonging to Family Xylariaceae of Order Xylariales. However, 3 species in Phylum Ascomycota and 1 species in Phylum Basidiomycota were unable to further classified. The majority of mushrooms found were an umbrella-shape. They were found to grow as saprobe or parasite. For most of mushroom species, the information about their use or whether they are poisonous were insufficient. Some of mushrooms found annually e.g. Boletus sp. and Russula sp., while some only found once. This study offers information on the biodiversity of mushrooms in the area and will be beneficial in terms of conservation and further use of mushrooms.
