Abstract


The aim of present study is to explore some fungal diversity of Pithoragarh city. Out of total 83,710.3 ha forsest area of Pithoragarh, the study site  was the main town of Pithoragarh, Pithoragarh district, in Kumaun region of central Himalayas. The study was conducted during April and May. The most significant fungus characteristics used for identification are spores and spore-bearing structures (Sporophores), the characteristic of the fungus body (Mycelium). Samples were alternatively selected from village as well as market areas of city. Outcome of the study shows that 11 genus and relaited species are discovered as disease causing on common plants widely distributed in Pithoragarh district. The reason of fungal species successful dominance is their survival over unfavourable environmental conditions
