The Kingdom Fungi includes some of the most important organisms, both in terms of their ecological and economic roles. It composes about 4% of the known species of life on earth and about 8% of estimated unknown species. In spite of their importance, less than 5% of the estimated 1.5 million fungi have been identified (Anon., 2004). Wood rot fungi are important elements of tropical forest ecosystem as they take care of decomposition of fallen woody branches, trunks and stumps.
