ABSTRACT
Two hundred species of wood rotting non-gilled Agaricomycotina are being recorded from state of Uttarakhand
(North Western Himalayas), India. These belong to 27 families spreading over 100 genera. These are recorded
from various regions viz.: Dehradun, Mussoorie, Nainital, Rishikesh, Chamoli, Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve,
Uttarkashi, Hemkunt and Chakrata of study area. This constitutes the first consolidated account of these fungi
from Uttarakhand state (N. W. Himalayas).
Key Words: Non-gilled Agaricomycotina, wood-rot, fungi, Uttarakhand.
INTRODUCTION
Wood is decomposed by fungi through several
types of rot (Rypáček 1957; Rypáček 1966;
Schwarze et al. 2000; Martínez et al. 2005). Some
of these can be distinguished in the field according
to their features in suitable decay stages to the
genus or species level, e.g. Armillaria spp.,
Phellinus nigrolimitatus, Fomitopsis pinicola
(Ryvarden and Gilbertson 1993, 1994). Woody
tissues are degraded by fungi, and these wood-
decay fungi fall into three types according to their
mode of attack on the wood cell walls - white-rot
fungi, soft-rot fungi and brown-rot fungi (Deacon,
2005). White-rot fungi are the most efficient
degraders of lignocelluloses as they can degrade
cellulose and hemicellulose, as well as lignin
(Schmidt 2006) where as brown rot fungi
(exclusively basidiomycetes) decompose
hemicelluloses, cellulose and modify or cleave
lignin but do not metabolise it. Wood affected by
brown rot is usually dry and fragile, readily
crumbles into cubes because of longitudinal and
transverse cracks. There are some soft rot fungi
which degrade only the cellulose and
hemicelluloses. We provide here, the first checklist
for wood-rotting (non-gilled) Agaricomycotina for
the state of Uttarakhand (N. W. Himalayas). Till-
to-date there is no consolidated account of these
fungi available in literature for this area.

Study Area
The state of Uttarakhand extends between 28°C
43’N to 31°C 27’N latitude and 77°C 34’E to 810C
02’E altitude. It is one of five states of the Indian
Union which are a part of the N.W. Himalayan
region. The region of Uttarakhand has a total area
of 53,566 km² and is covered by mountains
(approximately 93%) and forests show up on about
64% of the mountains. Most of the northern part of
the state is covered by high Himalayan glaciers,
passes, meadows, and trekking routs with several
major rivers and tributaries like the Ganga,
Yamuna, Alaknanda and Mandakani originating
from here. Uttarakhand lies on the southern slope
of the Himalayan range, and the climate and
vegetation vary greatly with elevation, from
glaciers at the highest elevations to subtropical
forests at the lower elevations. The highest
elevations are covered by ice and bare rock. Below
them, between 3,000 and 5,000 metres (9,800 and
16,000 ft) are the western Himalayan alpine shrub
and meadows. The temperate western Himalayan
subalpine conifer forests grow just below the tree
line. At 2,600 to 3,000 metres (8,500 ft to 9,800)
elevation they transition to the temperate western
Himalayan broad leaf forests, which lie in a belt
from 1,500 to 2,600 metres (4,900 ft to 8,500)
elevation. Below 1, 500 metres (4, 900 ft) elevation

109
I.B. Prasher & Lalita
Below 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) elevation are present
the Himalayan subtropical pine forests. The Upper
Gangetic Plains moist deciduous forests and the
drier Terai- Duar Savanna and grasslands cover the
lowlands along the Uttar Pradesh border in a belt
locally known as Bhabhar. These lowland forests
have mostly been cleared for agriculture, but a few
pockets remain. Uttarakhand has a great diversity
of flora and fauna. It has a recorded forest area of
34651 km2 which constitutes 65% of the total area
of the state. Uttarakhand is home to rare species of
plants and animals, many of which are protected by
sanctuaries and reserves. National parks in
Uttarakhand include the Jim Corbett National Park
(the oldest national park of India) at Ramnagar in
Nainital District, and Valley of Flowers National
Park and Nanda Devi National Park in Chamoli
District, which together are a UNESCO World
Heritage Site. A number of plant species recorded
in the valley are internationally threatened,
including several that have not been recorded from
elsewhere in Uttarakhand. Rajaji National Park in
Haridwar District and Govind Pashu Vihar
National Park and Sanctuary and Gangotri National
Park in Uttarkashi District are some other protected
areas in the state. Evergreen oaks, rhododendrons,
and conifers predominate in the hills. Shorea
robusta, Bombax ciliata, Dalbergia sissoo,
Mallotus philippensis, Acacia catechu, Bauhinia
racemosa, and Bauhinia variegata are some of the
other trees of the region. Albizia chinensis, the
sweet sticky flowers of which are favoured by sloth
bears, are also part of the region's flora. The
climate is stridently distinguished in its two diverse
divisions: the major hilly terrain and the smaller
plains. The climate however also varies within the
mountains in accordance with the altitude of the
place. The eastern edges of the Himalayan ranges
are subject to heavy rainfall while the western
division is relatively dry. However in Gangetic
plains summers are extremely hot and humid with
temperature crossing the 400 C mark. Winters can
be quite cold with temperature dipping below 50C
at times. The vegetation of Uttarakhand varies from
tropical forests to Alpine shrubs and meadows as
per climatic changes due to elevate-changes.
Uttarakhand also has rich variety of medicinal
plants.
REVIEW OF WORK DONE IN
INDIA/HIMALAYAS
Wight in the nineteenth century collected a number
of fungi from Himalayas which were later
examined by Klotzsch (1832, 1833) and Berkley
(1839). Hooker and Thompson (1849, 1850)
collected hundreds of specimens of fungi from
Sikkim, Eastern Himalayas and Khasi Hills.
Massee (1901-1912) published several accounts of
Indian Fungi based on collection sent to Kew
Herbarium.Wakefield (1916-22),
Bose(1919,1923,1924,1925,1927) gave
comprehensive account of fungi of Bengal and its
adjoining areas. Butler and Bisby(1931) prepared
compilation of the fungi in their work “The Fungi
of India” which included wood rotting fungi.
Bagchee and Bakshi (1950), Bakshi (1958, 1971),
Bakshi et. al. (1963), Balwant Singh(1961-66),
Puri(1956), Sehgal et al.(1966), Roy (1968) were
the workers who gave their great contribution to the
fungi. Bakshi (1971) published “Indian
Polyporaceae” which included 355 species of
fifteen genera. Thind and co-workers (1956-1985),
Rattan (1977), Dhanda (1978, 1978a) contributed
extensively to these fungi from N. Western and
Eastern Himalayas. Anjali Roy(1979,1981 a,
b,1982,1983,1984) Harsh(1982), Natrajan &
Raman(1980), Natrajan & Kolandavelu(1985),
Vaidya(1987), Vadiya & Bhor(1990), Vaidya et.
al.(1991), Sharma(1995) and Nanda(1996),
Prasher(1997,1999), Prasher & Hem
Chander(2006, 2007), Prasher et.al(2011, 2012),
Dhingra et.al.(2011,2011a, 2012) and Prasher &
Lalita(2012) contributed to this group of fungi from
India/ Himalayas. A review of the above mentioned
literature reveals that not much is known about the
wood rotting fungi of the Uttarakhand. In light of
this, the studies were initiated to compile the fungi
of this region in one volume after critical
examination of the specimens and through survey
of the published literature.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The data provided in this communication is based
on the examination of the collections made by us as
well as collected by the previous workers and
deposited in the Herbarium of Botany Department,
Panjab University, Chandigarh (PAN), India. The
observations are based on the fresh as well as dry
specimens and those preserved in Formaldehyde,
Alcohol and Water. All the collection cited in the
text are those deposited in the PAN unless
otherwise mentioned. Majority of the collections
belonging to different species were critically
examined macro and microscopically for different
characters. However, the specimens of some
collections were not available for examination by
the authors, these have been mentioned on the basis
of literature reports only and no herbarium numbers
are mentioned for these species. The fungi
recorded in this paper are classified after Kirk et
al.(2008), Index Fungorum and Mycobank.
Standard procedures were adopted to study the
specimens after Prasher (1999).
The method of revival of the dried specimens and
the different strains/reagents used are as follows:
For microscopic study the section of dried
fructifications were mounted in 3% KOH for
measurements of various structures as
basidiospores, basidia, cystidia, setae and stained
with cotton blue(in lactic acid) for determining the
cyanophilous reaction, Melzer’s reagent(for

110
Journal on New Biological Reports 2(2): 108-123 (2013)
determining the amyloidity), 1% aqueous solution
of congo red and Phloxine( to determine the
presence or absence of clamps and for measuring
the hymenial elements and hyphae),
sulphobenzaldehyde(water 1.5 ml, pure sulphuric
acid 5.0 ml and benzaldehyde 4.5 ml) for staining
gloeocystidia after Slysh (1960). The following
information has been provided in the order stated:
a) Name of the order and families.
b) Name of the species with reference to the
published report
c) Distribution in Uttarakhand state
d) Collection examined with herbarium number
(PAN) deposited in the herbarium, Panjab
University, Chandigarh.
e) Reference to the published report from where
full description can be obtained.
Areas from where collections were made: The
specimens were collected from the forests around
the following places in Uttarakhand. The data
concerning the main stations with its altitude, the
