Abstract

The Niokolo Koba National Park (NKNP), established in 1954 and recognized as UNESCO World Heritage and Biosphere Reserve in 1981 is the largest biodiversity sanctuary in Senegal with special ecosystems of the Sudanese bioclimatic zone, a great floristic richness of 1500 species of flowering plants and a remarkable diversity of fauna. However, no data of fungi especially macrofungal is available from NKNP. The present study aims to provide for the first time data on the taxonomic of some macrofungi occurring in the Niokolo Koba biosphere reserve. Surveys carried out at Niokolo Koba allowed to sample, describe and identify 14 species of fungi with fruibodies of ‘Parc National Niokolo Koba’. These species represent 12 genera, 7 families, 4 orders all-in the Basidiomycota. These species are: Gymnopilus sp, Hexagonia sp, Lactocollybia sp, Lentinus sp, Lenzites cf acutus, Marasmiellus setulosipes, Marasmius castaneovelutinus, Marasmius sp, Polyporus arcularius, Psathyrella atroumbonata, Psathyrella tuberculata, Pulverolepiota sp, Pterula cf brunneola, Tetrapyrgos nigripes.
