Research on the potential of macroscopic fungi in the forests of Indonesia as food and medicine still hasn't much been done. Until now, the biodiversity data of macroscopic fungi are destitute. On the other hand, we are faced with the rapid rate of decline of biodiversity both by natural processes and by human activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the species of edible mushroom in Kamojang Natural Reserves and Nature Park, Bandung-Garut Districts, West Java. The method used in this research were exploration method assisted with line transect and semi-structural interviews to people around Kamojang Nature Reserves and Nature Parks. The results of the study were obtained and analyzed descriptively. Thirty-five species of macroscopic fungi that categorized as edible mushroom were found in Kamojang Nature Reserves and Nature Parks, i.e. Armillaria sp.,
Abstract. Arko PF, Sudirman LI, Qayim I. 2021. Changes in landscape ecology between nature reserve and palm oil plantation in West Java, Indonesia based on the observations of macrofungal population. Biodiversitas 22: 4526-4537. As the biggest tropical country in Southeast Asia with the third-largest forest, Indonesia has limited data on macrofungal diversity. The limitation of the data is due to the lack of study on macrofungi in high biodiversity locations such as Dungus Iwul Nature Reserve (CADI). The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the population of macrofungal species caused by the conversion in landscape structure (fragmentation and land-use change) that occurred in CADI patch and oil palm plantation of PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII (PTPN) matrix, Cigelung, West Java. The sampling method used was opportunistic sampling assisted by line intercept. The macrofungal identification was based on morphological characters. The analysis of community ecology was performed in R programme. The results showed that macrofungal population and diversity in CADI were the highest, followed by PTPN planted in 2004 and planted in 2003, with a significant difference among the three study locations. The community dominance index shows the opposite, with the highest in PTPN 2003 and the lowest in CADI. These results showed changes in macrofungal population and diversity from the conversion in landscape structure. There were eleven indicator species in CADI, two species in PTPN 2003, and five species in PTPN 2004.
Dungus Iwul Nature Reserved (CADI) is a remnant patch of tropical rainforest converted into plantations with neither past data nor study in macrofungi. In this article, we explored and identified macrofungal fruitbody in CADI and PTPN VIII Oil Palm Plantation (PTPN) around the nature reserve. The inventory was carried out with the opportunistic sampling methods assisted by the line intercept. Morphological characteristics were used to identify the macrofungal fruitbodies species. We found that the species richness in the study area stood at 120, with 70 species found in CADI, 23 species in PTPN planted in 2003, and 57 species in PTPN planted in 2004. These 120 species consist of 76 genera, 41 families, 11 orders, and four classes in Subkingdom Dikarya. Schizophyllum commune and Marasmiellus candidus in CADI and S. commune in PTPN planted in 2003 and 2004 were the species found with the highest relative frequency. Neither sign of basal stem rot on oil palm trees nor Ganoderma fruitbodies were found in both PTPN study locations, even though the fruitbodies were found in CADI. Further research is needed to determine if nature reserve could be a barrier against pathogens of monoculture oil palm plantation in a similar landscape model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
