  • Background the Wular Lake Constitute a Significant Linkage in The
    University of Kashmir, Srinagar Background The Wular lake constitute a significant linkage in the hydrographic regime of Kashmir valley by acting as a huge absorption basin for flood waters. The lake with its associated wetlands support rich biodiversity as it is an important habitat of migratory water birds and fish resources. The lake has also assumed a significant status in the regional economy of the catchment population as a substantial proportion of the local population is dependent on this lake for their livelihood and employment. A considerable area of the lake has been reclaimed over the period of time which has been utilized for paddy cultivation, willow plantation, residential settlement expansion and other developmental activities in response to the growing economic dependence of the catchment population on the varied products of the lake. The local economy mostly hinges on the subsistence primary economic sector and its allied activities which derive their sustenance from the varied resources of the lake. The daily extraction of the various lake products like fish, water nuts, vegetable products, fodder and fuel wood not only facilitate to meet the daily domestic requirements of the local households but also serve as a source of income to the economically weaker and marginalized sections of the catchment population. However the lack of well defined policy and regulatory mechanisms for integrated management led to cross sectoral conflicts and overall degradation of this important wetland and its varied resource base. Consequently, the area of the lake got reduced from 157. 74 sq. km. in 1911 to 86. 71 sq. km. in 2007.

THREE HITHERTO UNREPORTED MACRO-FUNGI FROM KASHMIR HIMALAYA SHAUKET AHMED PALA*, ABDUL HAMID WANI, ROUF HAMZA BODA AND RIYAZ AHMED MIR Section of Mycology and Plant Pathology, Department of Botany, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, Hazratbal-190006. *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Himalayan state, Jammu and Kashmir due to its climate ranging from tropical deciduous forests to temperate and coniferous forests provides congenial habitat for the growth of diverse macro fungal species which in turn gives it the status of ‘hub’ of macro-fungal species. The macro fungal species richness of the state is directly related to its expansive forest communities and diverse weather patterns, but all the regions of the state have not been extensively surveyed till now. In this backdrop, a systematic survey for exploration and inventorization of macro fungal species of Western Kashmir Himalaya was undertaken during the year 2009 and 2010, which in turn resulted identification of the three species viz., Thelephora caryophyllea (Schaeff.) Pers., Coltricia cinnamomea (Pers.) Murr., and Guepinia helvelloides Fr. as new reports from the Kashmir. These species were identified on the basis of macro and microscopic characters and also the aid of taxonomic keys, field manuals, mushroom herbaria and help from expert taxonomists in the related field was taken into account.

The present communication describes the general distribution, brief morphological description, Since the dawn of civilizations, mushrooms have macro and microscopic details and edibility of three been fascinating man due to their unusual characters like newly reported species of macro-fungi from Kashmir sudden appearance in isolated places in groups, rings and Himalaya.
