Abstract

This study investigated species diversity and frequency of occurrence of the wood inhabiting fungi from various forest reserves and plantation forests in Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 327 sightings/collections assigned to 52 species were recorded. More fungal species were collected in forest reserves compared to plantation forests. The site at Pasoh Forest Reserve had the highest diversity of wood inhabiting mycota (29 species) and also species richness. Penyelidikan telah dijalankan ke atas kepelbagaian spesies dan kekerapan munculnya kulat yang hidup pada kayu dari beberapa hutan simpan dan hutan ladang di Semenanjung Malaysia. Sejumlah 327 kulat yang tergolong dalam 52 spesies telah direkodkan. Lebih banyak spesies kulat didapati dan dipungut di hutan simpan berbanding dengan hutan ladang. Hutan Simpan Pasoh mengandungi kepelbagaian mikota kulat kayu (29 spesies) dan kekayaan spesies kulat yang paling tinggi.
