Diversity of Sac Fungi in Coastal Sand Dunes of Orissa, India

摘要

Occurrence and distribution of Ascomycotina was studied from soil and leaf litter in coastal sand dunes of Orissa for a period of two years covering three distinct seasons. More species were recorded from unproductive coastal sand dunes in spite of its low nutrient status which can be due to less competition with other fungi. A total of 14 species were isolated of which soil had a share of 11 and the leaf litter contributed 12 species.
