Abstract

Phellinus is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Hymenochaetaceae from order Aphyllophorales. Many species of Phellinus cause white rot. Phellinus spp. causing white rot of various kinds in live standing or dead gymnospermic and angiospermic wood occurs worldwide. A total number of 427 species of Phellinus are reported worldwide while only 96 species are reported from India. The current study was based on thorough Indian literature survey for the host range of Phellinus species. About 51 plant families shows infection of Phellinus spp. Amongst all the families, genera of Caesalpiniaceae are found to be most susceptible, followed by Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Meliaceae, Pinaceae, Mimosaceae, Rubiaceae, Sapindaceae, Moraceae and Myrtaceae are also amongst the most frequently infected families. Mangifera is the most frequent host of Phellinus.
