Foreword
Fungi and men exist in an interesting love-hate association as
friends and as foes. Any information on these curious creatures of
evolution is boundt o be important. In Jammu & Kashmir, fungi have
evolved under diverse macro and micro climatic situations and
have a vital relevance to allp ursuits of sustenance. The compilation
of information on fungal flda of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh is
ther~fnroa timolv and commendable job done by Dr. G.N. Qasba
and DR. A.M. Snah. The good effort of the authors is sure to win
them the admiration of scientists' communtty. I hope that the book
will be an useful aid as reference material to students, teachers and
researchers. It is expected that the authors will continue to update
the compilation from time to time.

The Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh represent an interest-
ing and diverse habitat of rich and heterogenous life forms.
These three regions surrounded by North Western
Himalayas in Jammu and Kashmir form a transition region of
diverse physical features as well. On the basis of altitude
(ranges betyeen 215-7012 metres above mean sea level)
and climate, the entire region is represented by four zones,
i.e., subtropical zone (Jammu region), Intermediate zone
(Poonch, Rajouri & Doda), temperate zone (Kashmir valley)
and cold arid zone (Kargil, Leh and Gilgat)
Fungl of Jammu, Kashmlr & Ladakh
The book includes list of fungal species (in alphabetical
order) recorded from time to time from Jammu, Kashmir and
Ladakh regions mostly on plant species growing under nature
(wild) and manmade habitats (Agriculture, Horticultural and
Floriculture). The most of the fungal species reported in the
book cause diseases of varying incidence, besides quite a
good number of these live as Saprobes or in Symbiosis r with
other plant species. The information on fungi recorded from
Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh was scattered in various scien-
tific journals, books and other reference materials (most of
which are out of print). The authors have attempted to present
this voluminous and useful information under one cover. The
book presents following sections:
Section I List of fungal species in alphabetical order, with
brief texonomic information (i.e. class, order and
family). Besides information is also provided with
regard to hostlhabitat and place of occurrence
along with reference number which could lead the
reader to originalldethiled publication (Ref. Sec-
tion Ill).
Section I1 Presents the hostlhabitat index.
Section Ill Detailed references, referred in the Section 1, with
a particular number against a given fungal
species:
Section IV Brief description of Technical terms used in study of
fungilplant patholoqy (Glossary)
Section V List of important Journals (Mycologylplant patho-
logy).
The information contained in this book would be useful to
experts in Agriculture, Horticulture, Floriculture and Forestry
in particular to mymlogists and plant pathologists. Authors
would welcome suggestions and criticism for improvement in
the future editions of the book.
