The Diversity of Macroscopic Mushroom at Muhammad Sabki City Forest Park in Jambi City

Abstract

The diversity of Indonesia’s flora is shown by the richness of its tropical forests. One of the biodiversities is mushroom of which type is estimated to be 200.000. The aim of the study is to distinguish the diversity of macroscopic mushroom at the forest city park of Muhammad Sabki, Jambi City. This is a descriptive exploratory research by applying a sampling technique through exploring the founded mushrooms and laid the plots randomly. The data are collected by observing, making herbariums, documenting, and identifying the samples. The finding shows that there are 13 species of mushrooms from 2 divisions and 8 families. Basidiomycota division consists of 7 families namely Ganodermataceae, Agaricaceae, Polyporaceae, Dacrymycetaceae, Auriculariaceae, Tremellaceae, and Maramiaseaceae. Whereas, the Ascomycota division has 1 family called Xylariaceae. The types of mushroom founds are Ganoderma applanatum (Pers.) Pat, Ganoderma sp.,Paxillus sp, Pycnoporus sp, Lentinus strigosus Fr., Lentinus sajor-caju, (Fr.) Fr., Tyromyces chioneus (P.) P.Karst, Dacryopinax spathularia (Schwein.) GW.Martin, Auricularia auricular (Fr.) J.Schrot., Tremella fuciformis Berkeley, Marasmius candidus (Bolt.) Fr., Marasmius glabellus Peck., Daldinia concentric (Bolton) Caesati & de Notaris. The diversity index figure at the research setting is said to be moderate with an index number of 2.63.
