Abstract
The present study provides 30 wild mushroom species from Bangladesh. New
distributional and first record of Amanita caesarea, Amanita muscaria var.
guessowii, Amanita imazekii, Pluteus variabilicolor Babos, Russula emetic,
Marasmius haematocephalus (Mont.) Fr. 1838) Fr., Cuphophyllus pratensis,
Gymnopilus sapineus, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, Lycoperdon lividum Pers.,
Lysurus periphragmoides, Leucocoprinus fragilissimus, Leucocoprinus birnbaumii,
Laetiporus sulphureus, Otidea onotica, Trametes lactinea, Cruentomycena
viscidocruenta and Lepiota bengalensis (Md. Iqbal Hosen). These wild fungus
studied and identified with its gills and color. Also studied its natural distribution
from Bangladesh to Neighbor Countries like India, Myanmar, Sikkim, China and
Nagaland.

Keywords: Fungus, new records, Bangladesh.

Introduction
Fungus or fungi from the group of eukaryotic organisms. Including yeast and mold
like microorganisms. These organisms are classified with Animalia and Plantae
both. The study of fungi is known as mycology. That comes from Greek mykes
(Alexopoulos, Mims & Blackwell 1996) = mushroom. In the past mycology
included as a branch of botany. But now closely related to animals (Whittaker R).

The dead flesh of fungus odor like starfish or frogs. When studied of fungus that
smells come from old fungus body. Fungi (singular fungus) a spore bearing
organisms. Reproduce by both sexual and asexually. The science of study called
mycology. Original study related to microscopic. Such as mushrooms, puffballs
and bracket fungi. A variety of organelles present in fungi but unlike plants,
they’ve no chloroplasts. Fungi are nutritionally categorized as chemoheterotrophs
(like animal). Fungi have an ancient past to have as a food. But toxic fungi may
cause death and fatality.

Laetiporus sulphureus from an old mango tree, Otidea onotica and Cruentomycena
viscidocruenta, Coprinopsis atramentaria from Mymensingh 24.7460° N, 90.4179°
E. Trametes lactinea from an old wooden door, Russula albonigra under coconut
tree, Termitomyces reticulatus under timber trees, Fistulina hepatica on a timber
tree. Agaricus arvensis from horse manure at Old Dhaka, Chlorophyllum hortense
& Marasmiellus biformis from woods, Crinipellis scabella from Sylhet, Boletus
rex-veris from Khagrasori 23.1137° N, 91.9795°. E Amanita coprinopsoides &
Melanoleuca brevipes and others at RDA campus, Bogura. Red helmet and rabbit's
ear fungus from Bangladesh Agriculture University, Mymensingh by Sir Dr. Md.

Description
Fungus have some special
characteristics like fruit body, cap,
There are 4 Amanita species in our list.

They are so beautiful fungus but toxic in

nature. The termite mushroom grows
inside termite house. The smallest
mushroom is horsehair mushroom. Ink

cap mushroom making black color drops. The chicken mushroom a groups on tree.
Polypore’s have pores no gills. Gills are an identity of any mushroom with naked
eye. Otherwise, spore and
microscopic examination
needed. The only species is
Bengal/Bangladeshi
mushroom.

*** It is called “Horse mushroom” because it grows in horse manure. Not the
shape like a horse.
*** Amanita trends to grow under oak trees. But also find under hardwood tree.
It’s not safe to eat. Amanita shows their “Volva” in shape.

Common Ink Cap, arises in small clumps from spring until early winter.
