| 1 | Macro-fungal diversity in the Kilum-Ijim forest,Cameroon显示文摘Fungi are one of the most species-rich and diverse groups of organisms on Earth,with forests ecosystems being the main habitats for macro-fungi.The Kilum-Ijim forest in Cameroon is a community forest populated by several species of plant and animal life forms;although macro-fungi are exploited for food and medicine,their diversity has not been documented in this ecosystem.Since anthropogenic impact on this forest may cause decline of macro-fungal diversity or extinction of known and previously undiscovered species,it is imperative to generate a checklist of the existing macro-fungi for use in the implementation of sustainable conservation and management practices.This study was therefore carried out to generate information on macro-fungal diversity in this forest.During a field study carried out between 2013 and 2015,206 macro-fungi samples were collected and molecularly identified using the ribosomal ITS1,5.8S and ITS2 regions.Sequence data analysis revealed that majority of the fungal isolates(87.93%)belonged to phylum Basidiomycota while 12.07%belonged to Ascomycota.Among the fungal genera detected,18 are new records for Cameroon.This work represents the first comprehensive record of macro-fungi in Kilum-Ijim forest in Cameroon. | Teke NA Kinge TR Bechem E Mih AM Kyalo M Stomeo F | 2017 | Studies in Fungi2017，2，1： | 0 |
