四川森林药用真菌资源及生态类型

In Sichuan, the resources of forest pharmaceutical fungi are rich and distribute widely in forest regions in the subtropical, temperature and cold-temperature forest zones.All of them possess the pharmaceutical value and many species are recognized to have anti-cancer function and are called the "healthy food".In this paper 81 species of forest pharmaceutical fungi are recorded, which belong to 52 genera and 25 families. Among them, 73 species (90.12%) are Basidiomycetes and 7 species (9.88%) are Ascomycetes. They are macrofungi belonging to the families of Polyporaceae, Aga-ricaceae, Russulaceae, etc.According to their ecological habitats, these species may be divided into 5 ecological groups: lignicolous, 40 species; bamboophilous, 5; geophilous, 14; entomophilous, 5; and ecto-mycorrhizal, 17. They may be grouped into some ecological types. This may provide the basis for artifical cultivation.
