ABSTRACT<br />
This paper gives an account <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fungal flora from <strong>the</strong> Andaman and Nicobar<br />
Islands in <strong>the</strong> Bay <strong>of</strong> Bengal. 103 fungal taxa bel<strong>on</strong>ging to 52 genera <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> groups<br />
Zygomycetes (3), Hymenomycetes (25), Gastromycetes (1), Ascomycetes (16),<br />
~ . Hyphomycetes (51) and Coelomycetes (7) are <str<strong>on</strong>g>report</str<strong>on</strong>g>ed.<br />
:, INTRODUCTION<br />
., ;,; The pristine Indian subc<strong>on</strong>tinent, in distributi<strong>on</strong> and spreads over tropical to<br />
~- terms <strong>of</strong> biological diversity, has a unique temperate regi<strong>on</strong>s". According to <strong>the</strong> current<br />
! status with a wide range <strong>of</strong> habitats like informati<strong>on</strong>, <strong>the</strong> Indian subc<strong>on</strong>tinent is<br />
I hills, mountains, plateaus, rivers, lakes, known to host about 22000 fungal taxa.<br />
deltas, islands etc. with different The Bay Islands or <strong>the</strong> Andaman and<br />
climatological features and varied Nicobar Islands situated far <strong>of</strong>f from <strong>the</strong><br />
altitudes. The diverse habitat with Coromandel coast <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Peninsular India<br />
