Abstract
Mushrooms are important natural sources of food and medicines. Among these are members of the Order Agaricales (gilled mushrooms). In this study, we documented the different species of Agaricales growing in Hungduan and Mayoyao, Ifugao province. A total of 52 macrofungi were collected using the purposive sampling strategy. These were identified based on morphological characters as belonging to 19 families, 22 genera and 27 species: Auricula polytricha, Auricularia sp., Coprinellus disseminatus (Pers.) J.E. Lange, Coprinellus sp., Coprinopsis atramentaria (Bull.) Redhead, Vilgalys & Moncalvo, Coprinus comatus (O.F. Mull.) Pers.., Crepidotus variabilis (Pers. ex Fr.) Kummer, Dacryopinax spathularia (Schwein.) G.W. Martin, Entoloma conferendum (Britzelm.) Noordel, Hygrocybe sp., Lactarius sp., Lentinus sp., Leucocoprinus sp., Marasmiellus ramealis, Megacollybia platyphylla, Parasola plicatilis, Peziza sp., Pholiota highlandensis, Pleurotus djamor, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus sp., Ramaria sp., Termitomyces sp., Schizophyllum commune Fr., Vascellum pratense and Volvariella sp.. This study is the first report of Agaricales within areas inhabited by the Ifugao communities of Hungduan and Mayoyao and therefore, may be part of their traditional knowledge. This further necessitates the need for biodiversity conservation and habitat protection.
