Abstract

Mushrooms (the epigeous sporocarp of macrofungi) were collected from 2002 to 2004 in the diverse landscapes of the Sakaerat, Man and Biosphere Reserve. The habitats were: dry evergreen forest, dry dipterocarp forest, grassland, bamboo patches and reforested areas. Three hundred and fifteen species belonging to four classes and 44 families were recorded. The species checklist provided here includes 105 taxa. The number of species found in evergreen forest was greater than the number in dry dipterocarp forest: 97 and 27 species respectively.
