Taxonomy of wild macro fungi needs much importance as these are basic foundations of conserving and sustainable management of natural resource. Many fungi are at the edge of extinction due to loss of habitat destruction. The present study deals with diversity of 10 different species belonging to 10genera in different eco-sites of Himachal Pradesh. Field surveys of wild mushrooms were conductedduring the 2018-2020. All the specimens namely Ophiocordyceps gracilis, Clavaria argillacea,Hygrophorus fuscopapillatus, Pisolithus tinctorius, Gymnopus peronatus, Amanita phalloides, Leotialubrica, Cyptotrama asprata, Auriscalpium vulgare and Tylopilus balloui have been studied for taxonomic features and illustrated over here.
