Abstract: BASINANG, RITZ MARIE A. Inventory and Assessment of the Macroscopic Fungi under Orders Agaricales, Dacrymycetales, Geastrales, Gomphales, Pezizales, and Xylariales in the Eastern Side Slope of Mt. Manabu in Sto. Tomas, Batangas. Graduate Thesis, Master of Science in Biology, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. December 2019. Adviser: Dr. Yolanda A. Ilagan. This research study was conducted to determine the macrofungi present in the Eastern side slope of Mount Manabu, Santo Tomas, Batangas, classify the identified macrofungi in terms of order and family and relate abiotic factors to the frequency count of macrofungi. Collection of macrofungi was done from December 2017 to February 2018 through convenience sampling. Abiotic factors like soil temperature (°C), relative humidity (%) and elevation (MASL) were documented. A total of 1,004 fungal samples were collected during the study representing 14 genera, 12 families and 19 species. Sampled species include organisms under Orders Agaricales, Dacrymycetales, Geastrales, Gomphales, Pezizales and Xylariales. Identified families under Agaricales were: Tricholomataceae, Psathyrellaceae, Marasmiaceae, Mycenaceae, Pluteaceae, Schizophyllaceae, and Agaricaceae. For Dacrymycetales, family Dacrymycetaceae;, Geastrales, family Geastrumaceae; Gomphales, family Gomphidae: Pezizales, family Sarcoscypha Cease and Xylariales, family Xylariaceae. Results showed that Agaricales had the highest species count and consist of seven families. Most of the macrofungi observed were at the elevation of 406 to 695 MASL. Relative humidity and elevation were positively correlated while soil temperature was negatively correlated to overall frequency count of macrofungi. Being the first documented report on the presence of macrofungal species in Mount Manabu, the need for continuous monitoring for the macrofungal species and other organisms is vital in the growing studies on macrofungal species.
