Abstract:

In this study, a total of 27 distinct species were collected from various locations within the Aizawl district of Mizoram, India. These species were then identified based on their morphological characteristics and indicating the presence of 21 genera, 16 families, and 7 orders within the phylum Basidiomycota. Among the identified species, 19 species were recorded as edible and 6 species were recorded to be inedible/poisonous and 2 species with unknown edibility status. Microporus xanthopus appeared as the predominant species. Certain species such as Amanita flavoconia, Amanita jacksonii, Amanita vaginata, M. xanthopus, Russula cyanoxantha, and Schizophyllum commune were found consistently across all sampling site. However, species such as Phallus indusiatus, Podoscypha petalodes, R. emetica, and Termitomyces heimii were found within a single study sites.
