Abstract

The present study entitled “Diversity of different edible mushrooms in Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir” was conducted during the year 2018-2019. The aim of this study was to investigate the edible mushroom diversity from various locations of Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir. Periodic field trips were undertaken in different localities of Baramulla district. Mushroom hunters, locals and old aged people from tribal communities and local Bakharwals were consulted and taken as guides for collection of mushroom species. The species of mushrooms collected from the different sites of Baramulla area were identified on the basis of morphological, reproductive and other characteristics. During the study, 11 species of mushrooms were collected from the study area and were identified on the basis of macroscopic and microscopic characters. These mushroom species belongs to 9 families and 10 genera. Among these 11 species, 10 were Basidiomycetes and 1 belongs to Ascomycetes. The results revealed that district Baramulla has huge diversity of mushrooms. The present investigation stresses upon a great need, careful and comprehensive macro-fungal forays for further collection of these important group of organisms existing in various locations of the state.
