Abstract

Indonesia’s tropical forests are among the most biodiverse ecosystems globally, harboring diverse macrofungal communities essential for nutrient cycling and ecosystem stability. This study aimed to identify and analyze the macrofungal diversity in the Aik Nyet Sesaot Forest, West Lombok Regency. Field surveys were conducted in April 2025, collecting and identifying macrofungal specimens based on morphological characteristics. Ecological indices including species density, frequency, Importance Value Index (IVI), Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H’), Evenness Index, Simpson Dominance Index, and Margalef Richness Index were calculated to evaluate community structure and diversity. The results showed that the Agaricales order dominated with six species, while Pluteus salicinus showed the highest Importance Value Index (IVI) of 50.8%, supported by a relative density of 28.6% and a relative frequency of 22.2%. Other important species included Tremella fuciformis (IVI 32.5%) and Coprinopsis atramentaria (IVI 25.4%). The Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H’) was calculated at 2.2, indicating a moderate level of diversity in the fungal community, with species evenness (E) measured at 1.1. The Simpson Dominance Index (C) was 0.8, reflecting moderate species dominance, while the Margalef Richness Index (Dmg) was 7.6, indicating high species richness relative to total individuals. Deadwood substrates were the primary habitat for most species, emphasizing the ecological role of macrofungi in lignocellulose decomposition. These quantitative results highlight a stable yet quite diverse macrofungal community structure, with certain species being ecologically dominant, likely due to adaptation to microclimatic conditions. Although the sample size was limited to 14 individuals, this study provides important baseline data for understanding macrofungal diversity and ecosystem function in tropical forests.
