Abstract
This study presents way to the guidance and
necessary procedures requirements for the collection, study and analysis of
host specific basidiomycetes species across the areas in Dadra and Nagar Haveli
District. The study aims to detect the presence and analysis of characteristics
of spores of host specific basidiomycetes species distributed in the areas of
District Dadra and Nagar Haveli. Field surveys were made during June 2024 to
Dec 2025 across the areas of DNH District. Spores of 24 species of host specific
pathogenic basidiomycetes belonging to 18 genera and families were studied with
characteristics viz. size, shape, colour, appearance etc. Host
relationship and disease caused by pathogenic basidiomycetes were studied. Most
of the rust fungi were collected from herbaceous and shrubby hosts, while few
were found to be pathogens of tree species also. The research study further
recommends further exploration of host specific basidiomycetes species from the
areas of Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
