摘      要：Bracket fungi(Polypores)are a morphologically distinct category of Agaricomycetes(Basidiomycota)that are important agents for decomposition and nutrient cycling in forest *** species composition and ecology of these fungi in particular forest ecosystems are overlooked in ***,the current study is aimed at assessing the diversity and distribution of bracket fungi in oak-dominated forests in the middle mountains of central *** field visits over a six-year period(2017-2022)were done at nine study sites of oak-dominated forests in Karnabhumi Community Forest(KCF)and Gumalchoki Community Forest(GCF)from Makawanpur and Kathmandu districts respectively.A total of 26 species of bracket fungi belonging to 17 genera and 8 families were *** majority of the bracket fungi are known to be saprobic,while Coltricia cinnamomea is the only mushroom found to be mycorrhizal based on its *** of the bracket fungi were found to be inedible,while Ganoderma lucidum,Laetiporus sulphureus,and Pycnoporus cinnabarinus were found to be *** diversity indices,such as the Shannon Weiner index and the Simpson diversity index,were found to be 0.26 and 0.53 in GCF,respectively,and 0.17 and 0.35 in *** suggest that Oak dominated forests harbor considerable diversity of bracket fungi such that conservation of these forests is necessary.
