COMPLETED PROJECTS:

1. STUDIES ON RUSSULALES OF SIKKIM HIMALAYA: PART I – WEST DISTRICT (2008-2011): A total of 42 spp. of mushrooms under two families (Russulaceae and Hericiaceae) were documented. While dealing this work eight new species, 11 new records for India were described.

2. STUDIES ON WILD MUSHROOMS OF NORTH SIKKIM (2011-2014): A total of 110 spp. of wild mushrooms belonging to 25 families and 50 genera were documented. While dealing this work 19 novel species were described.

3. STUDIES ON WILD MUSHROOMS OF EAST AND SOUTH SIKKIM (EXCEPT AGARICACEAE, HYGROPHORACEAE, BOLETACEAE, SUILLACEAE AND CANTHARELLACEAE) (2014-2018): While working on this project 28 new species under 10 genera were discovered.
