Site 

The site chosen by the students is a stand dominated by fruit bearing trees such as
Mangifera indica and Cocos nucifera. The site in Hilongos, Leyte (see figure 1 on appendices) is
located near the town proper and has been designated as private land owned by the town mayor.
The canopy layer is dominated by Mangifera indica. While the emergent layer consists of few
Cocos nucifera. The understory is composed of young growths of Cocos nucifera while the
forest floor is dominated by a mixture of climbing vines (Syngonium podophyllum), ferns
(Diplazium esculentum), herbs (Cosmos sulphureus), and a few of Colocasia esculenta as well.
The forest floor also comprised stumps from Cocos nucifera and rotting logs as well as pits
designated for trash disposal. The students conducted opportunistic sampling on areas that are
shaded as well as areas that have rotting materials in order to increase the chances of collecting a
specimen. The site where the assessment was conducted has a total area of 7,074.2 m and is 2

located near one of the major rivers in the town. The river is mostly used in agricultural and
livestock farming. It is relatively far from anthropogenic disturbances since the site is declared as
a private property. The regional soil type present in the area is Ultisol and further classified as
Mandaue clay and Maasin clay as displayed on Figure 2.

Site Factors

The assessment of the site was conducted on November 17, 2020. Heavy rainfall was
experienced on November 14, 2020, two days prior to the date of collection. The weather
conditions improved after November 14, 2020 and the students decided on the 17 that it was the
th

opportune moment to collect field specimens since the weather occurrences has been favorable
for growth of fungi. The students collected samples for six hours starting from 1 pm in the
afternoon to 6 pm in the evening.

Site
The second site is located at one of the mountain ranges present in the region of Leyte.
The Barangay is situated at approximately 10.4190° N and 124.8780° E with an elevation of
360.1 meters above sea level. The dominant land classification present is agricultural lands. The
prominent crops planted are cash crops such as Taro (Manihot esculanta), Sweet Potato
(Solanum tuberosum), and Ginger (Zingiber officinale) as well as coconuts (Cocos nucifera).
However, despite of the increasing rate of land conversion a few fragmented secondary forests
remain. These fragmented secondary forests are usually located at terrain which are steep enough
or areas which are inconveniently accessible. The collection of mushrooms was conducted on a
steep section of the Barangay and also on the tributary near the Barangay. This tributary is
connected to the main river (Salog river) in which the first study was conducted at. The tributary
is not frequently visited by the locals which makes it an ideal site for collecting macrofungi. The
tributary is heavily vegetated and there were a couple of decaying material present.

Site Factors

The assessment of the site was conducted on December 10, 2020. Heavy rainfall was
experienced on December 6, 2020, four days prior to the date of collection. The weather
conditions improved after December 8, 2020 and the students decided on the 10 th of December th

that it was the opportune moment to collect field specimens since the weather occurrences has
been favorable for growth of fungi. The students collected samples for six hours starting from 1
pm in the afternoon to 6 pm in the evening.

Results

There is a total of 39 specimens collected.
