Abstract
AbstractThe vegetational patterns and climatic diversity of the Himalayan, Indo-gangetic plain (covers parts of Assam and West Bengal), Indian desert and Deccan plateaux, which are major factors affecting macrofungal diversity in these areas, are described. The history of the collection and identification of these fungi (including the medicinal and edible species) is briefly discussed. Conservation initiatives in the eastern Himalayan region, Western Ghats (Kerala and Maharashtra), northwest Himalaya (Kashmir, Punjab and Chandigarh Union Territory, and Himachal Pradesh), south India and Rajasthan are mentioned. The estimated number of microbial, animal and plant species in India is tabulated.
