Abstract

Macrofungi are cosmopolitan, heterotrophic organisms with very specific nutritional and ecological needs. They are one of the world's most diverse organisms and play an important role in terrestrial ecosystems. This study investigated the diversity of macrofungi species in Gunung Gading National Park by observing the sporocarps in their natural habitat along the waterfall trail and identified based on macro morphological characteristics. A total of 14 species were identified, which belong to four different orders; Polyporales, Agaricales, Auriculariales, and Pezizales. The species found along the Waterfall Trail were Trametes sp., Microporus sp., Polyporus grammocephalus, Ganoderma sp., Nigroporus sp., Clavaria sp., Marasmiellus sp., Cookeina speciosa, C. sulcipes, Auricularia polytricha, and A. delicata. The list of macrofungi provides a better understanding of the diversity of macrofungi in Gunung Gading National Park. Further study is required to collect and identify more species of macrofungi in Gunung Gading National Park, as it is important to document the diversity of macrofungi in Sarawak.
