Prof. Faisal Mushtaq Kichloo’s relentless pursuit of knowledge in the realm of wild mushrooms has yielded an unprecedented find—a mushroom Taxa previously unknown to India. The discovery was made in one of the most remote areas of District Kishtwar, highlighting the ecological richness of the region.

The significance of this discovery resonates globally, as it was reported in an esteemed international research journal. Unfortunately, the publication of the manuscript faced an unforeseen delay due to the sudden demise of the Editor in Chief, Lorelei Norwell of Mycotaxon, based in the USA, in August 2023.

The identification of this unique mushroom genus was accomplished through meticulous morpho-microscopic characterization, complemented by Molecular Phylogeny. The research was conducted at a reputed research institute in India, contributing to the scientific understanding of this newfound species.

The manuscript, authored by Prof. Faisal Mushtaq Kichloo, also boasts the collaboration of a distinguished Co-author, currently serving as the Principal Scientist at the Botanical Survey of India. This collaborative effort enhances the credibility and depth of the research findings.

The discovery not only adds to the biodiversity archives of District Kishtwar but also underscores the importance of ongoing research efforts in understanding and conserving our natural heritage.
