Distribution of Mushrooms in Different Fungal Families: A total number of 90 species in 46 genera belonging to 19 families in 05 orders of Basidiomycotina were considered for the ecological studies.
They were identified up to species level.
Agaricales dominated by 90% (11 families and 82 species in 38 genera);
5% in Aphyllophorales (3 families, 2 genera and 3 species in Polyporaceae and 1 species in 1 genus in Steriaceae and Clavariaceae respectively.);
3% in Lycoperidales (2 families; one species in one genus each in the family Geastraceae, 2 species in 2 genera of Lycoperdaceae.);
1% in Nudulariales (one family Nudulariaceae of which only one species in one genus )
and 1% in Sclerodermatales (1 family 1 genus and a species) were recorded. Out of 19 families Tricholomataceae dominated by 31% this is followed by Agaricaceae 26%, Coprinaceae 13%. A list of mushroom species family wise has been provided in Table: 01 and Fig. 01.

The mushroom specimens collected were assigned to 5 different groups recognised basically as outlined by with slight modifications for macrofungi.
