Diverse Mushroom Species of Khao Sok National Park

The rainforest is home to a rich variety of mushrooms, ranging from bioluminescent fungi to rare, uniquely shaped species. These mushrooms play a crucial role in the ecosystem, contributing to decomposition and nutrient cycling in the forest.

Lingzhi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum): A renowned medicinal mushroom, often used in traditional remedies to support immune health and promote overall well-being.
Earthstar Mushroom (Astraeus hygrometricus): A round, thick-fleshed mushroom commonly found in montane forests, valued both as food and for its unique star-shaped appearance when mature.
Stinkhorn Mushroom (Phallus indusiatus): Notable for its striking netted veil, this mushroom thrives in high-humidity forests and plays an important role in nutrient recycling.
Scarlet Elf Cup (Sarcoscypha coccinea): A vivid, cup-shaped mushroom with a bright red interior, typically growing on decaying wood in the humid undergrowth of tropical forests.
