District Malakand lies on the northern side of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. The landscape represents both plain and hilly regions. Various kinds of crops are grown among which wheat is cultivated on large scale. In order to explore weed species diversity in the region, a phytosociological survey was conducted in the summer 2014. Such study was required as there has been no such record of weeds diversity of the region. Different fields were selected at various localities of the district. The total number of fields selected was 120 and in each field 10, 1x1m 2 quadrats were laid. A questionnaire was also circulated to investigate about the farming practices and most dangerous species of weeds having greater effect on production and post harvest losses of wheat. Plants were collected from various localities, voucher numbers were given to specimens and other relevant data pertaining to locality i.e., habitat, habit, family, scientific and local names of each species. Mounted copy of each voucher specimen was deposited to the Herbarium of Hazara University Mansehra. This study not only provided first inventory of weed plants but it also helped point out most dangerous species related to wheat yield losses. Results of this study revealed a total of 132 weeds plant species belonging to 110 genera and 42 families. Most of the species investigated were Angiosperms. Family Asteraceae was the richest family related to species diversity with 18 species and 17 genera. It is followed by Poaceae having 16 species and 16 genera. Next in succession are family Brasicaceae with 10 genera and 16 species and family Boraginaceae with 5 genera and 7 species. Other families like Caryophyllaceae, Papilionaceae, Fabaceae, Polygonaceae, Scrophulariaceae and Umbilliferae have 6,6,4,5,4 and 3 species and 6,3,4,3,3 and 3 genera respectively. Species like Silybum marianum (Asteraceae), Emex spinosa (Polygonaceae) and Circium arvense (Asteraceae) are considered to be the most threatening species during the time of harvesting the crop. Further study along this line is the basic part of the on-going project which will provide a base line for the development of agricultural crops in the region.

Plant genetic resources
Meiosis studies in hybrids between diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid wheats provided evidence about the evolutionary origins of wheat genomes. The A genome is present in both tetraploid and hexaploid wheats. Tetraploid wheat contains the A and B genomes, and hexaploid wheat contains the A, B, and D genomes. Ae. squarrosa was proven to be the donor of the D genome through hybridization studies. The origin of the B genome is still unclear, though some evidence points to Ae. searsii. Rice likely originated from O. perennis in India and spread to China and Southeast Asia, developing into the cultivated species O. sativa and O. glab

Sclerotia production a way ahead to morchella Cultivation
Morchella, the true morels, belonging to Helvellaceae family of class
Ascomycetes, are amongst the most highly priced fungi in the world. Their
artificial production is still a challenge, even though patents for their
cultivation do exist. The tissue of Morchella sp. was transferred aseptically
to Potato Dextrose Agar medium (peeled, sliced and boiled potato, 200 g;
dextrose, 20 g; agar, 20 g L-1) to grow hyphae. The mycelium showed
fastest growth as compared to other edible mushrooms. It covered entire area
of Petri plate (90 mm) within 4-5 days with the growth rate of 18-
22.5mm/day. A unique growth pattern i.e., vertically oriented mycelia were
observed. Brown coloured pigmentation in the culture was also observed
during the study. The basal media for spawn (wheat grains; Glucose, 1%,
CaCO3, 2%; CaSO4, 1.5% and MgSO4, 1%) was aseptically inoculated with
the mushroom culture. The spawn substrate was colonized by mushroom
mycelium in 7-8 days. The sclerotia were formed in unused (old) spawn.
Wheat straw was used as a substrate for mushroom cultivation. It was
supplemented with wheat bran, 20%, Glucose (1%) and MgSO4 (1%). It
showed prolific growth when it was seeded by mushroom spawn using jar
method. Once substrate was fully covered with mushroom mycelium, casing
was applied. Sclerotia were successfully obtained after 14 days of incubation
in our experiment both in the substrate and casing soil but failed to give rise
to fruiting primordial. Further research is going on to domesticate this
species in our country.

Dissertation on Ethnomedicinal Survey of Parasnath.pptx
An ethnomedicinal survey was conducted in the Parasnath area of Jharkhand, India to document local medicinal plant knowledge and biodiversity. 25 plant species belonging to 17 families were collected and identified. Semi-structured interviews with local people revealed medicinal uses of plants for ailments like digestive issues, kidney problems, and diabetes. The survey found that most plants were in vegetative growth stages, and knowledge of medicinal plants was lacking among local residents. Further studies on phytochemistry and pharmacology were recommended to validate traditional uses of these plants. Conservation of threatened plant species in the area was also suggested.

Plant genetic resources
Meiosis studies in hybrids between diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid wheats provided evidence about the evolutionary origins of wheat genomes. The A genome is present in both tetraploid and hexaploid wheats. Tetraploid wheat contains the A and B genomes, and hexaploid wheat contains the A, B, and D genomes. Ae. squarrosa was proven to be the donor of the D genome through hybridization studies. The origin of the B genome is still unclear, though some evidence points to Ae. searsii. Rice likely originated from O. perennis in India and spread to China and Southeast Asia, developing into the cultivated species O. sativa and O. glab

Sclerotia production a way ahead to morchella Cultivation
Morchella, the true morels, belonging to Helvellaceae family of class
Ascomycetes, are amongst the most highly priced fungi in the world. Their
artificial production is still a challenge, even though patents for their
cultivation do exist. The tissue of Morchella sp. was transferred aseptically
to Potato Dextrose Agar medium (peeled, sliced and boiled potato, 200 g;
dextrose, 20 g; agar, 20 g L-1) to grow hyphae. The mycelium showed
fastest growth as compared to other edible mushrooms. It covered entire area
of Petri plate (90 mm) within 4-5 days with the growth rate of 18-
22.5mm/day. A unique growth pattern i.e., vertically oriented mycelia were
observed. Brown coloured pigmentation in the culture was also observed
during the study. The basal media for spawn (wheat grains; Glucose, 1%,
CaCO3, 2%; CaSO4, 1.5% and MgSO4, 1%) was aseptically inoculated with
the mushroom culture. The spawn substrate was colonized by mushroom
mycelium in 7-8 days. The sclerotia were formed in unused (old) spawn.
Wheat straw was used as a substrate for mushroom cultivation. It was
supplemented with wheat bran, 20%, Glucose (1%) and MgSO4 (1%). It
showed prolific growth when it was seeded by mushroom spawn using jar
method. Once substrate was fully covered with mushroom mycelium, casing
was applied. Sclerotia were successfully obtained after 14 days of incubation
in our experiment both in the substrate and casing soil but failed to give rise
to fruiting primordial. Further research is going on to domesticate this
species in our country.

A new filter for safe view of solar eclipse
Looking directly at the sun can lead to permanent eye injury due to damage of light-sensitive rod and cone cells within the retina. There are two ways to look at the Sun safely: by observing the sun directly through a suitable filter, or by projecting the Sun’s reflection onto a piece of paper via handmade pinhole camera/ telescope. The present correspondence shows the specification for the development of an optical instrument for the direct observation of sun. For this device, commonly available solar control glass plates can be used. The design of this filter is based on the fact that both visible and UV radiation comply with the law of Reflection and Refraction of light. As light rays appeared on the glass plate, most of the rays pass through the glass after refraction. A portion of the incident ray is mirrored and goes out to the next glass panel, where the same thing is going to happen. Through this way, multiple glass plates reflect the light ray before diffuse light is received. Owing to the fact that diffuse reflection is responsible for the ability to see most illuminated objects, we will be able to see the dull image of sun directly through this filter during the solar eclipse.
An Approach to Improve Yield Parameters of Pleurotus florida Strain P1
Aim: The efficient mushroom production involves many factors of which spawn production, culture methods and substrate selection are of prime importance. The research has, therefore, been carried out to standardize these aspects in present communication, for production of Pleurotus florida Strain P1.
Materials and Methods: Various cereals (maize, oat, barley) and millets (Italian millets, Little millet, Pearl millet) were assessed against wheat grain spawn for enhancing yield and biological efficiency of mushroom. Most suitable wheat straw component among fine pieces of leaves and leaf sheath (0.2
cm), coarse pieces of leaves and leaf sheath (0.4 cm), small (1.0 cm) and large pieces of the stem (1.7 cm) were also evaluated for the manifestations above. Various culture methods viz., bag, column, wall and tray culture and few substrate mixtures (corncob + wheat straw, mango sawdust + wheat straw and rice husk + wheat straw) have also been taken to increase yield performance of mushroom.
Results: The result showed that barley and oat grains produced good quality spawn in terms of quick mycelial running on the grain surface (14 days each). These spawn produced acceleration of spawn running and increased yield, as compared to other types of spawn. When different components of wheat straw were evaluated for the yield performance of mushroom, the course pieces of the stem (1.0 cm) proved the most appropriate component in relation to very low/zero contamination along highest yield (819 gm) and biological efficiency (163.8%). In contrast, wheat straw and corn cob were
recognized as the best substrate combination with highest yield (707 gm) and biological efficiency (141.4%) of mushrooms. Among different culture techniques used, only the column method gave significant yield (930 gm) and biological efficiency (186%) with appropriate mushrooms sizes from
packaging point of view.
Conclusion: The results obtained during the study revealed that by adopting the composite approach, the growers enhance mushroom production in manyfolds. The mushroom is cultivated by following column method. The wheat straw devoid from pieces of leaf & leaf sheath should be utilized
as a substrate with corncob combination. It should be inoculated with oat/barley spawn to higher yield.

Comparison of Growth and Development of Pleurotus florida against Wastes from...
Two wastes from animal origin, viz., human hairs and egg shells were evaluated for different manifestations of white oyster mushroom, Pleurotus florida. The mushroom utilized both the
substrates for their growth and sporophore formation. The mycelial growth was significantly (P=0.05) faster on egg shell (18 days) as compared to human hair (23 days). The crop of mushroom was harvested in four flushes where human hairs showed higher yield and biological efficiency of mushroom (165 gm, 33%) than egg shells (155 gm, 31%), respectively. In respect of yield parameters such as yield, biological efficiency, number of mushroom fruit bodies and average weight of
sporophores, both the substrates were statistically at par to each other. Utilization of human hairs egg shells by P. florida reveals a new strategy for mycoremediation of these wastes.
Determination of the Paper Quality as a Substrate for Oyster Mushroom Cultiva...
Magazine paper and cardboard produced the highest yields (450g and 495g respectively) and biological efficiencies (90% and 99% respectively) of Pleurotus florida mushroom compared to other paper substrates. They also produced a significant number of mushroom fruit bodies (56 for magazine paper and 64 for cardboard). Corrugated cardboard produced mushrooms with a significantly higher average weight per fruit body of 10.29g. Overall, oyster mushrooms grew well on paper and cardboard substrates, utilizing their cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin components for growth and reproduction.
Transform papers-into-food
The document summarizes an experiment evaluating different paper and cardboard substrates for cultivating the white oyster mushroom Pleurotus florida. Ten materials were tested as substrates: eight types of paper (glaze paper, brown paper, newspaper, magazine paper, chart paper, kite paper, rough copy paper, and A-4 printing paper) and two types of cardboard (corrugated and plain cardboard). All substrates supported mushroom growth and fruiting. Yield and biological efficiency varied between substrates, ranging from 190-495 grams and 38-99% respectively over three flushes. Magazine paper and cardboard produced significantly higher yield and biological efficiency than the control (newspaper). Corrugated cardboard also produced significantly heavier individual mushrooms
A Modified Approach in Substrate Preparation Technique for Small Scale Oyster...
Aims: Cultivation of oyster mushrooms has increased vastly in a global scale during last few
decades. Contaminants and indigenous microflora present in the substrate may led to the low
productivity of mushrooms. Keeping this in mind, the present study was under-taken with slight
modification in substrate preparation technique to eliminate dust particles from the substrate and to
assure contamination free mushroom production.
Study Design: Comparative evaluation between modified approach and control beds.
Place and Duration: The study was carried out in Shri Laxman Prasad Pyare Lal Agro Products,
Ayodhya during 2017.
Methodology: The wheat straw substrate was immersed in the drum containing tap water, mixing
properly and allowed to stand for 10-15 min to settle down the dust particle in the bottom of the
drum. After that, the floating substrate was transferred to the slant surface so that the extra water
was decanted off. This substrate was put in to the steam sterilised gunny bag and steeped in the
chemical solution consisting of Formaldehyde (500 ppm) and Bovistin (75 ppm) for 18 h. For the

control, fresh wheat straw was put in to the steam sterilised gunny bag and steeped directly in the
chemical solution as suggested above. After removal of excess water, the substrate was used for
spawning with inoculums of Pleurotus sajor-caju, Strain- Malaysia.
Results: Beds with modified approach showed a complete absence of contaminants during entire
crop cycle which showed the effectiveness of modified method while beds treated as control
showed little incidence of various contaminants viz., Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus,
Curvularia sp., Penicillium sp., and Rhizopus stolonifer with 6.67-20.00 percent incidence.
Conclusion: The results revealed that the modified method should be considered to contamination
free mushroom production.

Spawned Casing vs Simple Casing
Effect of spawned and simple casing on the biological efficiency of pink oyster mushroom Pleurotus eous was observed. The results exhibit that spawned casing not only takes lesser time for case run but also produces early primordial development. A positive response on mushroom biomass is also noticed in this technique.

During an extensive survey of fungi from Faizabad (U.P.), the author came across two important diseases, viz., wet rot of Cereus hexagonus caused by Periconia byssoides Pers ex Me'rat and fruit rot of Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels caused by Rhizopus nigricans Ehrenb. ex Corda, new to India. The specimen has been deposited in the Department of Botany, K.S.S. P.G. College, Faizabad under Accession No. RSK 415 and 558.
Record of periconia byssoides on four o clock plant from india
In September, 1978, the author observed plants of Mirabilis jalapa L. infected by wet disease at Faizabad. On examination the pathogen responsible for the disease was found to be Periconia byssoides Pers. ex Me'rat. The specimen has been deposited in the Department of Botany, K.S.S. P.G. College, Faizabad as Herbarium No. RSK-260. The present case is a new host record for India.
Periconia rot of capsicum annum in india
Periconia byssoides is known to parasite a number of plants in India but so far not reported on Capsicum annuum L. The small spherical to irregular spots of light brown colour gradually enlarged and merged subsequently to form continuous dark brown to black patches on stem, leaves and fruits. The whole plant were soon infected and ultimately dried within 20-25 days. The damage was about 70-85 per cent. The fungus was isolated on PDA medium by usual methods. The specimen has been deposited (No. RSK-142) in the herbarium of Botany Department, K.S.S. P.G. College, Faizabad.

Fruit rot of mandarin orange
In December 1978, the author observed the stored fruits of Citrus reticulata Blanco severely infected by a fungus causing soft rot in local fruit market of Faizabad. The entire fruit surface was densely covered by the fungus causing the rot. The fungus was isolated on PDA medium and identified as Trichoderma lignorum (Tode) harz.
In India, T. lignorum has been found on various substrates, viz., soil, rhizosphere region of Pennisetum typhoides, paddy straw of mushroom beds, phyllosphere of Impatiens balsamina and Citrus crysocarpa but not on Citrus reticulata and the present association is a new record for India.

Notes on a new fungal disease of alocasia indica
Short hole disease of Alocasia indica Schott, caused by Phoma exigua Desm., earlier unknown to India has been reported from Faizabad. The infection was chiefly confined to the margins of lamina. It started as small nonchlorophyllous spots near the fronds. The spots gradually enlarged irregularly upto 2-3 cm sq. area of the leaf, merged and in final stage, necrosis and then short holes appeared within a month. The pathogenicity tests performed by standard methods proved pathogenic nature of the fungus.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

A report on occurrence of morchella sp. from district faizabad, uttar pradesh
- 1. A Report on Occurrence of Morchella sp. from District Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh SIDDHANT1 , RUCHIRA SINGH2 , C.S. SINGH3 AND R.S. KANAUJIA4 1 Scientist R&D, Indo-Canadian Farms, Pune (Maharashtra), India 2 Independent Scientist at Bhoomi Spring Town, Pune (Maharashtra), India 3 Department of Botany, K.S.S. P.G. College, Ayodhya, Faizabad (U.P.), India 4 Director, Indo-Canadian Farms, Pune (Maharashtra), India ABSTRACT The genus Morchella is one of the oldest genera of Pezizales.InIndia, itoccursprimarilyin N-WHimalayas, thoughtheyare reportedfromsub-hillyandplainsaswell. The present article reportsprobably the first occurrence ofgenusMorchellainthedistrictFaizabad, UttarPradesh. Keywords Morchella, Morels, Guchchhi, Ascocarp, Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh Morchella, the true morels belonging to family Mochellaceae of order Pezizales is commonly known as ‘Guchhi’ in India. The ethanobotanical data gathered on these wild mushrooms reveal that these can be consumed directly to promote health on account of their nutritional and medicinal properties. Morchella grows at higher altitudes usually on hilly land farms with cool microclimate. They usually grow outdoors, in pure and mixed coniferous forests, broad leaved forests and open ground under direct or indirect shade, in abandoned orchards, gardens, landscaped areas, under hedges, on roadcuts and driveways, near melting snow, in gravel, around wood piles or tree trunks, and in sandy, loamy and organic matter rich soil. The genus Morchella was reviewed in India by Waraitchi in the year of 1976. According to him, six species namely Morchella esculenta, M. conica, M. deliciosa, M. angusticeps, M. crassipes and M. semilibera have been reported from India which are being reported from north-west Himalayan regions, especially Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. Occasional reports on collection of Morchella vulgaris Boud. from Assam forest, M. deliciosa from Amritsar (Punjab), M. conica from central India and probably M. esculenta from Rajasthan have been given by Bhattacharya and Baruah, 1953, Purkayastha and Chandra, 1985, Ghurde and Wakode, 1981 and Paliwal, et. al., 2013, respectively. In present communication, Morchella sp has been reported from district Faizabad which lies between the parallels of 260 47’N to 260 78’N lataitude and 82.080 E to 82.13’E longitude having an average elevation of 97 meters above the sea level. MATERIALS AND METHODS The specimen of Morchella was collected during field trip in the month of December, 2013 near railway station area, Ayodhya (Faizabad). The morphological and ecological characters were recorded. The specimen was photographed in natural habitat. Later, this was identified with the help of macro and microscopic features. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The mushroom had a characteristic appearance. It looks like a pine cone perched on a stem. Apothecia: Stipitate, interior hollow, 11.0 cm in length, differentiated in to stipe and pileus. The pileus rises continuously from stipe. Pileus 7 cm long and 5.5 cm broad, longer than stipe. Honeycombed with pits and ridges. Interior hollow. Colour cream to yellowish, The pits were same in colour as the ridges. Stripe 4.0 cm in length, 2.0 cm broad, relatively short and narrower than cap, the base somewhat wrinkled, typically hollow in cross section, Colour white to creamy. Asci with 8 spores. Spores elliptical, smooth. Odor pleasant. Spore print cream. Habit and Habitat: The fruiting bodies were found solitary on humus rich soil near Cycas, Fern and other ornamental plants which show the possibility of mycorrhizal association. Distinctive honeycomb-like upper portion which is composed of a network of ridges and pits defines this mushroom as a Morchella sp. Earlier, no Morchella spp. has been recorded as yet in the climatological situation prevailing at Faizabad and its adjacent area. This is the first report in respect of incidence of Morchella sp from Faizabad (U.P.). Trends in Biosciences 7(17): 2473-2474, 2014
