Abstract

Mala Forest range of tropical moist mixed deciduous type, situated in Pilibhit district, Uttar Pradesh, is enriched with luxuriant flora and fauna. The soil covered with litter-bed harbored a distinct mycoflora colonizing litter and soil. The seasonal variations, stratification, and percentage occurrence of the fungal population inhabiting the soil beneath the litter-bed at three research sites viz., Sal-Poplar stand, Mixed Trees stand, and Teak stand at Mala Forest were investigated. Qualitative dynamics as well as quantitative estimations of soil mycoflora were analyzed.
