Studies in Fungi 3(1), 202–226, Doi 10.5943/sif/3/1/21 Abstract A literature-based checklist of polypores reported from Kerala State, India is deduced. Altogether 148 species of polypores under 8 families belonging to 68 genera are recorded. The checklist is prepared after reviewing all the available literature and most of them have been published during the last two decades. The geographical distribution of polypores is presented districts wise, including all the 14 districts of Kerala state. The family Polyporaceae has the highest number of species (80), followed by Hymenochaetaceae (37), Fomitopsidaceae (9), Meripilaceae (7), Ganodermataceae (7), Meruliaceae (5), Schizoporaceae (2) and Phanerochaetaceae with a single species. The genus Trametes had the highest representation with 16 species followed by Lentinus and Phellinus with 13 species each. There is no comprehensive studies have been undertaken on the diversity, distribution and functional attributes of polypore fungi in Kerala parts of Western Ghats, which undoubtedly hosting the highest mycodiversity This list is inconclusive and covers only a part of the actual diversity of polypores in Kerala as most of the forest areas are unexplored for the polypore diversity documentation.

  • Indigenous Peoples Plan
    Indigenous Peoples Plan Background Information on Kadars Kadars, one of the most primitive tribal groups of Kerala, live in the Chalakudy river basin around areas of Vazhachal, Chalakudi, Parambikulam and Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary. Traditionally they were hunter gatherers and lived in clan groups inside the forest. The total population of Kadars is around 1500-1700. The language that they speak is a combination of Tamil and Malayalam but the stronger linguistic influence is dependent on the area or the state they live in. The community was settled into colonies by the Forest department around 50 years back. A study on the riparian vegetation along the middle and lower zones of the Chalakkudy river by Amitha Bachhan gives the status of Kadars as the forest dwelling communities, living by gathering food from the forests and by fishing from the river. They usually live in huts made by reeds and bamboos and do not have an aptitude for agriculture. According to the 1981 census there were 1503 Kadars (774 males and 729 females) in the state. Kadars live in about 15 settlements in the Parambikulam forest area of Palakkad district and Athirappilly -- Sholayar region of Thrissur district. Ironically major settlements of Kadar tribes were rehabilitated/relocated to these settlements during the time of powerhouse construction. Two are permanent settlements. The larger one is the Vazhachal settlement very near to the waterfalls and office of the Forest Department. Another is the Pokalappara settlement near Pokalappara Forest Range office. The third one is located just downstream of the Poringalkuthu dam. Vazhachal and Pokalappara settlements are permanent settlements and the dam site colony consists of few families resettled from the Pokalappara colony.
