Abstract
During inventory of macrofungi in the forests of Western Ghats, two hitherto unrecorded rare hydnoid taxa, Gyrodontium saccharii (Spreng.) Hjortstam (Agaricomycetes, Boletales, Coniophoraceae) and Hericium cirrhatum (Pers.) Nikol. (Agaricomycetes, Russulales, Hariciaceae) were recovered on decaying wood. Both are reported from North-Eastern India, thus the present report constitutes the first report for the Western Ghats of India. This communication embodies brief systematic accounts with illustrations, substrates, distributions and economic value of these hydnoid fungi.
