Abstract
The study mainly focused on the taxonomic study of fungi. Taxonomy is the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms and includes all plants, animals, and microorganisms of the world. Using morphological, behavioural, genetics and biochemical observation taxonomists identify, describe and arrange species into classification, including those that are new to science. Fungal taxonomy has been based on morphological development and physiological characteristics from which the current structure of species, genera and classes has emerged. The material and methods of specimens were collected using an axe, sharp knife, forceps, measuring tape, hand lens, books, labels, camera, papers and containers. Fresh specimens i.e, various stages of fruiting body development and fully grown bodies were collected in sterile polyethylene bag for further study in laboratory. The study helped us to gave check list of the specimens, key were developed for identification helped to gave the uses along with the local name used by people, find out some species were used as food and medicinal purpose. Finding a new records for state, country and world.
