Quantitative estimations were made among the different strains of Ganoderma lucidum collected from different places as well as host varied in cellulose decomposition capability and production of glucanase. Dalbergia sisso strain is the best cellulose decomposer (16.99%) and glucanase producer (79.67µg mg-1 ml-1) as compared to other strains collected from Eucalyptus tereticornis, Acacia catechu and Azadirachta indica.
