Abstract
Mushrooms are epigeous and hypogeous fleshy fruiting bodies of fungi belonging to Basidiomycetes and certain Ascomycetes. Gandhi Krishi Vigyana Kendra (GKVK) campus of University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS) Bengaluru, provides congenial climate for the growth and development of variety of mushroom species. In the present study, twenty one mushroom species were documented from the campus during rainy season (July-October-2014). While collecting the mushrooms, the field information such as date, abundance, growth habit, substrate and location were recorded. The collected mushrooms were identified by ITS region sequence homology using National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) data base. The sequences of the collected mushrooms when compared with NCBI data base revealed 87-100 per cent homology. The mushrooms identified based on sequence homology are Macrolepiota globosa (GKVK-1), Ganoderma australe (GKVK-2), Lepista sp. (GKVK-3), Phlebopus portentosus (GKVK-4), Termitomyces sp. (GKVK-5), Agrocybe pediades (GKVK-6), Leucoagaricus crystallifer (GKVK-7), Podoscypha petalodes (GKVK-8), Agaricus sp. (GKVK-9), Tricholoma giganteum, (GKVK-10), Coprinellus disseminates (GKVK-11), Ompholotus olivascens (GKVK-12), Agaricus sp. (GKVK-13), Macrolepiota dolochula (GKVK-14), Panus conchatus (GKVK-15), Marasmius leveilleanus (GKVK-16), Polyporus arcularius (GKVK-17), Lepiota fuscovinacea (GKVK-18), Agrocybe semiorbicularis (GKVK-19) and Marasmius sp. (GKVK-20). The mushroom designated as GKVK-21 was identified based on its phenotypic characters as Ganoderma lucidum which is a medicinal mushroom.
