Abstract
The present article reports five heterobasidiomycetous taxa, viz., Dacryopinax spathularia (Dacrymycetaceae), Exidia glandulosa, Pseudohydnum gelatinosum (Exidiaceae), Tremella fuciformis, and T. mesenterica (Tremellaceae), based on collections made from West Bengal, India, with their morpho-anatomical details. Dacryopinax spathularia is reported from Odisha and Uttar Pradesh while Tremella fuciformis and T. mesenterica are reported from Chhattisgarh.
Highlights
Five jelly fungi were collected from different corners of West Bengal, India, and are reported with detailed morpho-taxonomic details
Each of these regions is unique in terms of various ecological conditions such as temperature, humidity, salinity, rainfall, altitude, edaphic factors, etc. that provide a wide range of habitats for the luxuriant growth of different types of macromycetes
Karst., Tremella fuciformis Berk., and Tremella mesenterica Retz. with their morphological details. This is a series of our earlier works dealing with the exploration of macromycetes diversity of West Bengal (Acharya et al 2017a,b,c; Tarafder et al 2017)
