The Development of Basidiomycota Fungi with The Concept of Integrated Forest Management

Abstract

The development of Basidiomycota that is cultivated by utilizing space on the forest floor has not been done much, especially in Indonesia. The Basidiomycota found in Indonesia have very high diversity, but have not been explored so far. Basidiomycota fungi is an alternative as a source of natural nutraceuticals. This study aims to obtain Basidiomycota fungi isolates that have the potential as a nutraceutical source. As the first stage in this research, the activities carried out were exploration, isolation on culture media, and identification of fungi based on genotypic characters. The results of this research have found eight types of basidiomycota that have the potential to be a source of nutraceutical in the geulis mountain forest area of ​​West Java Indonesia. The fungi identified based on their genotypic characters were Pleurotus ostreatus, Ganoderma cf, resinaceum, Lentinula edodes, Vanderbylia fraxinea, Auricularia delicate, Pleurotus giganteus, Auricularia sp., and Tricholoma giganteum.
