Abstract:
A survey was conducted on biodiversity and distribution of wood decay
macro fungi in northern social forest regions in five upazillas (Dupchanchia,
Adomdighi, Sonatola, Sherpur and Dhunot) of Bogra district in Bangladesh on
sisso tree (Dalbergia sisso). A total of fifty (50) plants were randomly selected
for collection of wood decay fungi in each location. The northern region of
Bangladesh (Bogra) is located at 24°32' and 25°07' north latitudes and between
88°58' and 89°45' east longitudes.“Dalbergia sissoo” commonly known as
Indian Rosewood is a large deciduous tree that produced very heavy strong and
stout wood with of good quality. Now a days the plant is in threat (dying) due
to fungal infection and other unknown reasons. A total of 43 samples of wood
decay fungi belonging 9 families were collected and identified to 15 genera and
21 species. The predominant genus was Ganoderma. Among the Genoderma
spp., the highest density (23.2%) and frequency (55%) was found in
Ganoderma tsugae. Among the fleshy macro fungi, the highest density (55%)
and frequency (33%) was found in Psathyrella candolleana. The macro fungi
were preserved in Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Herbarium of Macro
Fungi (SHMF).
