Abstract
Inventarisation of macrofungi in the Nature Reserve Lembah Anai and Batang Palupuh, West Sumatra, has been conducted. The purpose of this study was to determine the macrofungal diversity in both areas, and to know species diversity of macrofungi have potential as a food and medicinal. The macrofungi specimens were collected through transect line in particular plot. About 112 species of macrofungi were collected (63 species in Lembah Anai Nature Reserve, 58 species in the Nature Reserve Batang Palupuh). Member of Aphylloporales (Amauroderma rugosum, Cymatoderma sp., Fomitopsis sp., Ganoderma spp., Heterobasidion annosum, Microphorus spp., Polyporus spp., Rigidoporus spp., and Trametes spp.) and Agaricales (Amanita spp., Agaricus spp., Clytocibe spp., Entoloma spp., Filoboletus spp., Hygrocybe spp., Lepiota spp., Omphalina spp., Marasmius spp., Marasmiellus spp., and Russula sp.) were found dominant. Food macrofungi in this area includes Auricularia auricula, Auricularia delicata, Agaricus spp., Boletellus spp., Calvatia excipuliformis, Cantharellus cibarius, Cookeina speciosa, Fistulina sp., Hygrocybe sp., Lentinus sajor-caju, Marasmiellus ramealis, Russula fragilis, and Pluteus cervinus. Medicinal macrofungi found in both areas include Amauroderma rugosum, Ganoderma lucidum, Ganoderma pfeifferi, Ganoderma resinaceum, Microphorus spp., Polyporus spp., Trametes spp., and Xylaria spp.
