Journal BIOLOVABIOLOVA Abstract

Despite Indonesias rich biodiversity, information regarding the diversity of macrofungi remains notably limited. This gap underscores the urgent need for more comprehensive and systematic exploration of fungal species across a variety of ecosystems. One particularly underexplored habitat is the campus forest, which has received minimal attention in fungal diversity assessments to date. This study aims to explore and identify fungi in the Campus Forest Area of IPB University. The collection of specimens was carried out in February 2023 using an opportunistic sampling method. The fruiting bodies found were documented in situ, stored as herbarium, and morphologically characterized. Morphological identification was carried out using fresh fruiting bodies samples. The identification results showed five unique fungi from the study site including: Cookeina tricholoma (bowl mushroom), Agaricus sp. (wild button mushroom), Cyathus striatus (birds nest mushroom), Marasmiellus sp. (white toadstool), and Lepista sordida (purple mushroom). The five fungi are saprobes and three of them (C. tricholoma, L. sordida, and Marasmiellus sp.) are edible wild mushrooms. Four of the mushrooms found are Basidiomycota, and one mushroom (C. tricholoma) is Ascomycota. The results of this study add data on the diversity of fungi from campus forests in Indonesia as a basis for their further utilization in the future.

Conclusion

This research successfully described and identified five unique fungi in the IPB University campus forest area.Four of the fungi belong to the Basidiomycota group, while one (C.

Future Research

Penelitian lanjutan dapat difokuskan pada identifikasi molekuler dari spesies Marasmiellus yang ditemukan, mengingat kompleksitas taksonomi dan plastisitas morfologisnya. Selain itu, studi lebih mendalam mengenai potensi bioaktif dari masing-masing spesies jamur, khususnya L. sordida dan C. striatus, perlu dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi manfaat farmakologisnya, seperti aktivitas antimikroba dan antikanker. Terakhir, penelitian tentang interaksi ekologis antara jamur-jamur ini dengan lingkungan sekitarnya, termasuk peran mereka dalam siklus nutrisi dan hubungan simbiosis dengan tumbuhan, dapat memberikan pemahaman yang lebih komprehensif tentang ekosistem hutan kampus IPB dan potensi konservasinya. Penelitian-penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap pemahaman keanekaragaman hayati fungi di Indonesia dan pemanfaatannya secara berkelanjutan.
