IDENTIFICATION OF TYPES OF FUNGI GROWING ON EMPTY OIL PALM BUNCHES IN OIL PALM PLANTATION IN TALUN KENAS PATUMBAK VILLAGE FOR MONOGRAPH BOOK MAKING

Abstract

Fungi are organisms whose life is parasitic or saprophytic that acts as a decomposer or decomposer of organic matter. Saprophytic fungi are a type of fungus that gets nutrients from dead organic matter or dead organic matter. The purpose of this study is to determine the diversity of fungal species obtained in empty oil palm bunches in oil palm plantations in Talun Kenas Patumbak and to find out the characteristics of fungi found in empty oil palm bunches and can produce teaching materials in the form of monograph books. Sampling was carried out at one point and used a descriptive exploration method. The results of this study were obtained 8 species of mushrooms, 8 species, namely: Orange Mushroom (Psilocybe azurescens), Oncom Mushroom (Neurospora sitophilia), Merang Mushroom (Volvariella volvacea), Bird's Nest Mushroom (Cyathus olla), Ink Cap Mushroom (Coprinopsis nivea), Small Umbrella Mushroom (Mycena zephirus), Serabut Mushroom (Lentinus sp), Keris Mushroom – Kerisan (Marasmius sp). This fungus can grow well due to supportive environmental factors. The number of mushrooms found is suspected to be influenced by the temperature of 25o C – 35o C and humidity of 56% in oil palm plantations and the rainy season.
