Abstract
Mount Burni Telong has a diversity of fungi that play an important role in the forest ecosystem. This study aimed to determine the types of macrofungi found in Mount Burni Telong and index diversity macrofungi found in Mount Burni Telong. The method used in this study was to use the pathway method by observing macrofungi along the hiking trail with a distance of 10 meters to the left and 10 meters to the right starting from an altitude of 1800 mdpl to an altitude of 2600 mdpl. Macroscopic fungi found were to identified and measured the physico-chemical parameters of the environment. Macroscopic fungi found were dominated by the Basidiomycota division and the Polyporaceae family. The results obtained were 31 macroscopic fungi from 2 divisions, 6 classes, 6 orders, 21 families, 26 genera, and 31 species. The most macroscopic fungi found in the Basidiomycota division, Agaricomycetes class, were 23 species and at least in the Ascomycota division, Pezizomycetes class, was as many as 1 species.
Highlights
Mount Burni Telong is one of the active volcanoes in Aceh Province
In Indonesia it is assumed that there are about 12,000 types of fungi, while in the world there are around 47,000 types
Mushrooms contain complex organic compounds such as cellulose, hemi cellulose, pectin, starch, and lignin, which act as decomposers to help the decomposition of organic matter in the forest ecosystem. In this case (Khayati & Hadi, 2016) reported that ecologically, fungi have a real role in ecological events such as associations with plants that play a role in the nutrient cycle, food webs that affect the survival of tree saplings and tree growth

In this case (Khayati & Hadi, 2016) reported that ecologically, fungi have a real role in ecological events such as associations with plants that play a role in the nutrient cycle, food webs that affect the survival of tree saplings and tree growth. Macroscopic fungal research is very significant to determine the rate of nutrient decomposition and soil fertility
