Pleated Inkcap Mushroom Recorded for First Time in Arunachal Pradesh

The Pleated Inkcap mushroom, scientifically known as Parasola plicatilis, has been recorded for the first time in Arunachal Pradesh, India. Observed at an ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra farm in Longding district, the delicate, short-lived mushroom was identified by local scientists. While non-edible and of no commercial value, it plays a crucial ecological role in decomposing organic matter and enhancing soil fertility. This discovery highlights Arunachal Pradesh's rich, underexplored fungal biodiversity.
