Abstract:

The current work aimed to document the wood rooting fungi belongs to Nashik district and prepare a check list based on field observations, collection, taxonomic characterization and identification of the fungal specimens and published literatures, the check list of wood rooting fungi contains 55 species of 30 genera distributed across 09 families. These fungal specimens were collected from regions of Nashik District, namely Surgana, Peth, Trimbakeshwarand Igatpuri. This updated checklist will be useful for mycologists for retrieving fungal species records from Nashik district and also for enriching culture banks. The work will serve as a baseline for future additions and updation of fungal database.
