Abstract
In this literature-derived report, we present an updated checklist of fungal species associated with Shorea robusta. This compilation encompasses information regarding the habitats and locations where fungi have been identified on the sal tree, and integrates original taxonomic descriptions when available. In aggregate, 79 fungal species from 16 nations have been documented on the sal tree. The associated fungi can be classified into three primary groups: (i) Ascomycota: Spanning 10 orders, 12 families, and 13 genera, this group comprises 18 identified species and an additional 3 species yet to be precisely identified. (ii) Anamorphic-Hyphomycetes: This group includes 08 orders, 6 families, and 19 genera, encompassing 23 identified species and 2 species whose identification remains pending. (iii) Basidiomycota: Covering 5 orders, 11 families, and 26 genera, there are 39 discerned species and 3 species with undetermined taxonomy. From the data analyzed, a predominant proportion of the fungal species have been detected on the sal tree’s leaves, bark, branches, and decaying wood. Notably, the leaves manifest the highest fungal association. This checklist serves as a foundational resource for gauging the diversity of fungal species on the sal tree within the South Asian region.
