Abstract

Endophytic fungi described as the internal mycota of living plants. The present study is an attempt to document mycoflora diversity of root, rhizosphere, bulk soil of grass Alloteropsis cimicina (L.) Stapf a less known species from North East India in Bhadra reserve forest region in two different seasons. Isolation, fungal community from collected samples by Moist blotter method, Potato dextrose agar (PDA) method, Malt extract agar (MEA) methodStatistical analysis were done and the mean data by Simpson Diversity Index Shannon Evenness Shannon Diversity Index(H1 ) Simpson Evenness, Colonization frequency and Jaccard’s Similarity Coefficient is measured. There were 700 fungal colonies belonging to 18 species of 11 genera.and four NSF isolated.
