Characterizations of tree-decay fungi by molecular and morphological investigationsin aniranian alamdardeh forest

Forest trees are considered important in ameliorating climate change through removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, stabilizing water catchments and for timber production. Wood decay fungi among most biotic factors ecosystems, infecting valuable landscaping causing an economic loss or preeminent recyclers of wood. In a survey forest Alamdardeh forest, northern Iran, fungal fruit bodies were collected isolations made. Based on combination macro-morphological characteristics molecular analyses, using sequence data ITS-rDNA, isolates identified to species level. A total 22 nine families 15 genera identified. Most white-rot fungi. Additionally, brown-rot fungus Laetiporus sulphureus soft-rot Xylaria longipes
