Marasmius (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) in Dry Deciduous Dipterocarp Forest at Dong-Yai Community Forest, Thailand

Abstract

A survey of macrofungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) species in dry deciduous dipterocarp forest at Dong-Yai community forest, Amnat Charoen province, Thailand was investigated during June-July of 2015 and 2016. The main purpose of this research was to perform a taxonomic study of the occurred Marasmius species in the study area. The finding revealed that a total number of seventeen specimens of Marasmius were collected from six study sites. Based on morphological and anatomical characters, four infrageneric sections of Marasmius were classified, as follows: Globulares, Marasmius, Neosessiles, and Sicci, representing nine species. According to the descriptions of found taxa, a determinative key was constructed and theirs distribution in north and northeast of Thailand were compared with previous works. This is a first report of taxonomic study on Marasmius in northeastern Thailand which presents their voucher specimens.
