LIST OF FUNGI REPORTED FROM TAMIL NADU

The fungi have been listed alphabetically under genera. As for as possible the fungi have been listed under their latest generic and specific names.

The first Indian fungus to be recorded was from Tranqeubar, (Tarangambadi) in the erstwhile Madras State (Tamil Nadu) . A fungus collected by the Danish Missonary, Koenig was sent by him to Linnaeus who named it Lycoperdon pistillaris. This fungus is now known as Podaxis pistillaris (earliar known as Podaxon pistillaris). Subsequently several records of fungi from Tamil Nadu were made and these were described mostly by the British Mycologists Berkely, Cooke and Massee. With the appointment of E. J. Butler as Cryptogamic Botanist to the Government of India more systematic surveys of Indian fungal floras were initated . However, large scale collections of fungi in Tamil Nadu were made only after the establishment of the Mycology section at the Agricultural college and Research Institute, Coimbatore (Presently Tamil Nadu Agricultural University) with William Mc Rae as Government Mycologist. Mc Rae and his staff made many collections of Indian fungi. A large number of these fungi were studied by Butler and the Sydows, H and P., and described or recorded in the series of papers entitled " Fungi India Orientalis" published in the latter’s journal. In laters year many mycologists notably T.S. Ramakrishnan and his colleagues K. Ramakrishnan and N.V. Sundaram have added substantially to our knowledge of fungi from Tamil Nadu through their series of papers "Additions to fungi of Madras". They mainly concentrated on fungi causing diseases in plants. During this period a school of Mycology was established in the University of Madras under the leadership of C.V. Subramanian. Over a Period of four decades he and his students have contributed much to the knowledge of fungi from Tamil Nadu. These fungi mainly belonged to the Deuteromycotina and Basidiomycotina.

The present list consists of fungi recorded from Tamil Nadu up to 2002. A total number of 1077 species in 370 genera have been recorded. Regarding the distribution of fungi it is not possible to arrive at any clear conclusion from a study of the list. This is because most of the collections have been casual and not made during systematic surveys. Excepting the crop parasites most of the other fungi are represented by single collections. Nilgiris, Pulney hills and Anamalai hills seem to be the favorite collecting grounds for mycologists and these regions appear to be rich in fungi.
