Index. Russulales, one of the major orders of macrofungi, encompasses some mushroom-forming genera which are saprobes, parasites, or mycorrhizae and are responsible for key functioning of any terrestrial ecosystem. This pictorial manual illustrates the diversity of mycobiota in this order including 73 species belonging to the genera Bondarzewia, Hericium, Russula, Lactarius and Lactifluus which were comes across by the author in Sikkim (India) during recent years. Out of these 73 species, 44 were established as new to science from this country during 2011 to 2021. The genus Russula was the largest genus with 36 species followed by Lactarius with 23 species, Lactifluus with 10 species. Hericium with three species and Bondarzewia with only a single species. Amateurs, mushroom hunters, professional mycologists, conservationists, foresters and policymakers will undoubtedly be benefited with the morphological descriptions, macrochemical colour reactions, field photographs, micromorphological line drawings, taxonomical information, phylogenetic estimations and user friendly keys for easy separation of species, presented in this book.

Wood rotting fungi are the primary decomposer of wood in any terrestrial ecosystem. This book is a pictorial guide on wood rotting fungi collected from Koderma Wildlife Sanctuary, Jharkhand, India. One hundred species of this highly important group of macrofungi is presented systematically with their morphological description, notes and illustrations. Key to the families, genera and species of respective taxonomic groups are also supplemented for easy identification. This is a first attempt to unveil the diversity of macrofungi from the dry deciduous forest of Jharkhand and it will undoubtedly be helpful for the students, researchers, foresters, environmentalists and policy makers.

From the preface: "This manual is divided into three parts. The first part is the "Introduction" giving a general account of the work done on Russulaceae both at international and national level and justifying the objectives of the study. The chapter on "technical terms" deals with the terms used to designate the characters in the manual. This is followed by a chapter on "methodology" depicting the methods of work followed during the course of this study. The chapter on "study area" gives a summary of the different areas surveyed with their names, type of forests, dominant tree species and approx. altitude in meters above mean sea level. The second part deals with the detailed taxonomical descriptions coupled with field photographs, line drawings depicting the macro-and microscopic characters of all the taxa collected from the study area and a parsimonious molecular tree justifying the placement of few confusing taxa. The third part is about the "ecological data" gathered on each taxon during the field survey.".

Hardcover. Condition: New. Mycorrhizal mushrooms are very important for the survival of forest trees. Species of the genus Russula are the dominant ectomycorrhizal wild mushrooms in the state of Uttarakhand, exhibiting a spectacular array of colours on the forest floor. They remain one of the most confusing groups of macrofungi, which are very difficult to identify. This pictorial manual encompasses 105 Russula species that are found in Uttarakhand. Out of 105 species, 58 are presented with detailed morphology, illustrations, and distributional maps. In addition, previously reported 47 species from this state that were not encountered by the authors during present explorations are also given with short descriptions. For easy segregation of all these species, morphology-based keys are also supplemented for the convenience of students, researchers, foresters and policymakers.

It comprises of 400 species of wild mushrooms from different biogeographic zones of India most of which were established with morphotaxonomy and molecular phylogeny. Out of these 400 species, 53 are edible, 298 inedible, 43 inedible/poisonous and six (6) are poisonous. These species come under 13 morphology-based broad groups e.g. Gilled fungi (Agarics), Fleshy poroid fungi (Boletes), Pseudo-gilled fungi, Toothed fungi, Bird's nest fungi, Coral fungi, Cup/saucer fungi, Stinkhorn fungi, Stomach fungi, Saddle fungi, Earth tongue fungi, Parasitic fungi and others. Each entry (species) of this book is enriched with beautiful illustration, illuminating morphological description, common name (if any), information on edibility/toxicity, ecological notes, distribution, growing season and remarks. The easy-to-use "Key to broad groups of mushrooms included in this book" helps the reader to place each species to its respective broad group. Glossary, dealing with most of the morphology-based technical terms used in the descriptions, help to make this manual very useful in the field and laboratory. This field guide will be helpful to the mushroom hunters, professional mycologists, conservationists, foresters and policymakers.
