MACROFUNGI DIVERSITY IN MOUNT PANDAN ECTOURISM AREA, ACEH TAMIANG

. [Macrofungi are fungi that can be seen with the naked eye. Its characteristics can be seen based on its structure and body shape. Generally, fungi live in various types of habitats, namely wood, soil, litter, animal waste and so on. This research was conducted on 8-9 June 2022 in the Ecotourism area of Gunung Pandan, Aceh Tamiang Regency, Aceh Province. Determining the sampling point was carried out by the path method by observing macroscopic fungi along the hiking trail at a distance of 10 meters to the right and 10 meters. The most numerous macroscopic fungi, living solitary and these fungi were found in the Basidiomycota division, with 11 species and the least in the Thallophyta division, Eumycetes class, with 1 species.


Introduction
Macroscopic fungi have an important role in the decomposition process of forest litter. Fungi can decompose the complex organic matter contained within and into a very simple element that is easily absorbed and utilized by other organisms [1]. Fungi are organisms that do not have chlorophyll, these species have different sizes and shapes and have an important role for the life of other living things [2]. Macroscopic mushrooms are those that can be seen with the naked eye.
Its characteristics can be seen based on the structure and shape of the body. Macroscopic mushroom morphology has varied body colors, namely brown, red, light orange, olive, white, yellowish white, green, gray and black. Macroscopic mushrooms have fruiting body shapes such as fans, kidneys, semicircles, trumpets and umbrellas [3].
Generally, fungi live in various types of habitat, namely wood, soil, litter, animal waste and so on. Forests are a type of ecosystem where mushrooms can grow, because forests have a high humidity level so that fungi can easily adapt [4]. In addition, macroscopic fungal groups significantly influence forest food webs, survival or germination of saplings, tree growth, and overall forest health. Thus, the presence of macroscopic fungi is an important component in a volatile forest community [5].
Mount Pandan is one of the bathing attractions located in Tenggulun District, Selamat Village, Pandan Hamlet, Aceh Tamiang Regency, Aceh Province. Aceh Tamiang is a district that includes the administrative area of Aceh province and is directly adjacent to the province of North Sumatra.
Based on the law of the Republic of Indonesia number 4 of 2002 with an area of 1,957.02 km2, and consists of 12 sub-districts. the physical condition of Aceh Tamiang district is mostly lowland areas and only a small part is hilly areas. Lowlands and gently sloping areas are often found on the coast, the elevation of the area between sub-districts is quite varied, ranging from 20-700 m above sea level with a slope of between 8-25% [6]. The Mount Pandan tourist attraction itself was only opened in 2006. Even though the Mount Pandan Bathing object is relatively new, the attraction of Mount Pandan is no less than other tourist attractions that first existed in Aceh Tamiang Regency. Evidenced by the large number of tourists from various regions who come to this bathing attraction. The purpose of this research is to identify macroscopic types. Mushrooms and Knowing the Habitat of Macroscopic Fungi in the Mount Pandan area, Aceh Tamiang Regency.

Methods
This research was conducted on June 8-9 2022 in the Gunung Pandan Ecotourism area, Aceh Tamiang Regency, Aceh Province. Sampling points were determined using the path method by observing macroscopic fungi along the hiking trail at a distance of 10 meters to the right and 10 meters. meters to the left along the hiking trail. The mushrooms obtained during the observation were then seen at the coordinate points of the mushrooms obtained, the coordinate points were taken in each area where the mushrooms were found. The specimens of fungi (mushrooms) found were then documented using a cellphone camera.
Observations include places where mushrooms grow, namely litter, dead branches, weathered wood and live trees. The number of types of mushrooms found were recorded and the characteristics of the mushrooms such as color, shape and body size of the mushrooms found were to identify the type of fungus. Each type of mushroom was photographed and a representative of that type was taken to make a specimen.
Samples were observed based on color, pores, volva, hood, stalks and habitat/substrate (dead wood, dead wood, live wood, soil, feels like leaves/soil or rocks). Mushroom samples found were photographed based on where they grew. Mushroom samples taken, namely for soft mushrooms, were taken with the substrate so that all parts of the mushroom were taken and not cut. Whereas for mushrooms whose texture is hard and sticky, harvesting mushrooms using a knife can also be done by cutting the substrate thinly. The mushroom samples are put into plastic containing 70% alcohol and labeled hanging [7].The section title use 12 pt, bold, Times, title case with 6 pt spacing to the body text.

Result and Discussion
Based on the observations that have been made, 12 types of macroscopic fungi from 2 divisions, 2 classes, 5 orders, 7 families, 11 genera and 12 species can be seen in Table 1. The most numerous branch macroscopic fungi, living solitary and these fungi are found in the Basidiomycota division, totaling 11 species and at least 1 species in the Eumycetes class Thallophyta division (Table 1). In this case, [8] explained that the most common types of macroscopic fungi were found from the basidiomycota division. The characteristics of the basidiomycota division are macroscopic, while members of the ascomycota division are microscopic and only a small proportion are macroscopic or have fruiting bodies. Based on macroscopic mushroom observations that have been carried out in the Gunung Pandan ecotourism area, Tenggulun Aceh Tamiang sub-district, we get the types of mushrooms as shown in Figure   1. Below: age, the lamellae are attached to the stem. The stalk of the fruit body is the same at the top, but tapers towards the base due to the clustered growth pattern, light brown color and smooth surface [9]. This mushroom has a height of 2 cm, grows on dead wood trees in groups.

Hygrocybe conica
Habitat : in humus moist soil, weathered wood Description : Hygrocybe conicca hood mushroom with a diameter of 1-5 cm, blunt cone-shaped, smooth, moist and shiny surface, reddish-orange in color and some are brownish red especially in the middle, the hymenium layer (gill) is soft, waxy, white, then gray and black when mature.
Stem 4-10 cm high, there is a yellowish hole in the middle. Hygrocybe conicca mushroom habitat in moist, humus soil, weathered wood. Living solitary or in groups, this mushroom cannot be consumed because it is toxic. 126 The fungus Hygrocybe conicca was found at stations 2 and 3.

Marasmius candidus
Habitat: weathered wood or twigs Description: The cap of Maramius candidus is 0.6-2.5 cm in size, convex with a slight concavity in the middle, the surface of the cap is moist, transparent white in color, the fruiting body is soft.
Hymenium layer (gill) is white, stalk height 0.5-3 cm. Oval in shape, smooth surface. The habitat of this Maramius candidus mushroom is on weathered wood or twigs. Living in clusters, the color of the white and transparent fruit body is the hallmark of this mushroom.
Maramius candidus is a mushroom from the Marasmiaceae family. [10] Marasmiaceae family belongs to wood-destroying fungi, most of which stick to living trees. The characteristics of this fungus are having perennial or annual basidiomas. The surface of the pileus is hard, crusty, serrated, or grooved like skin. [11] Stated that this family has more adaptability to the mountainous environment and is supported by high humidity in mountainous areas which are suitable as habitat for this family. The genus Marasmius has a hood like an umbrella with a size ranging from 0.3-2.7 cm. The surface of the hood is smooth, with tenuous lamellae. The dominant color is brownish, the stalk is cylindrical and slender with a length of between 0.6-2.8 cm. This genus is mostly attached to the substrate in the form of leaves and lampk branches, and grows on the ground.
Habitat: weathered wood Description: Hymenocheta sp. It is a species of the Hymenochaetaceae family. The Hymenochaetaceae family has a rigid shape with a gray color on the surface and a light gray color on the fruit body which can turn black and expand when the mushroom is old. Mushrooms in this family are up to 40 cm wide and 20 cm thick. This fungus is a parasite that lives in trees, for example, in trees of the Salix species. The type of mushroom from the Hymenochaetaceae family that was found was from the genus Phellinus, had a circular cap with a size of 21 cm, the upper surface had a hard texture and was black in color. On the lower surface has white pores. Usually grows on weathered wood.

Lentinus strigosus
Habitat: weathered woody trees Description: The mushroom Lentinus strigosus has a funnel-shaped hood with brownish hair, sometimes purplish pink and has lamellae that point towards the middle of the stalk. The Lentinus strigosus mushroom is a saprophytic mushroom that usually grows from spring to autumn. This mushroom is a fungus that can be eaten even though it has a slightly bitter taste. 132 The fungus Lentinus strigosus is usually found on weathered woody trees.

Trametes pubescens
Habitat: weathered wood Description: Trametes pubescens has a fruiting body 3-7 cm in diameter. Curved, superfine upper surface with zones of color variation, sessile and porous lamellae form. The habitat of this fungus is on weathered wood, living alone or in small groups. Live all seasons. This mushroom cannot be consumed because the texture of the fruit body is hard or tough.

Trametes versicolor
Habitat: weathered trees and litter Description: This mushroom is shaped like a fan, its characteristic feature is circular lines like year circles with different colors. The fruit body of this mushroom is brownish-black in the middle and brownish-white on the edges. [12] This mushroom has a variety of colors, the top is yellowish white, gray, and brown. Environmental conditions other than temperature and humidity that affect the growth of wood fungus is the degree of acidity. Wood mushrooms can grow in acidic environmental conditions. [13] The pH required for wood mushrooms is 7, but there are fungi that can grow below a pH of 5.5. Habitat for wood mushrooms is usually on weathered trees and litter soil [14].

Pycnoporus coccineus
Habitat: on hard weathered wood

Ganoderma applanatum
Habitat: weathered wood Description : Ganoderma applanatum grows/attaches from the base of a stem or root on a living or dead tree. In addition, there are other species of Ganoderma whose pileus is attached directly to the tree. Because the growth medium is in wood/trees, the fungus enters the "lignicolous" fungus. The aplanatum fungus is a wood rot fungus. This mushroom has a semicircular fruiting body with a diameter of 10 cm, a hard and stiff texture with a thickness of 1.5 cm, and on the upper side it has radial lines with a reddish brown color on the fruit body and the lower side has a hymen in the form of pores. small. It does not have a fruit stalk, so it directly attaches to the substrate and lives alone by clinging to dead trees [16].
Ganoderma mushrooms are found all over the world (tropical regions). The body of the Ganoderma mushroom is hard and quite large, and the pileus (cap) can reach more than 60 cm in diameter. The color of Ganoderma pileus varies, some of which can be white, yellow, brown, red, or dark purple, light in color. Pileus in each Ganoderma species has a color pattern that varies depending on age and environmental conditions. Several species of them have a shiny and shiny appearance of pileus [17].

Conclusion
Based on the observations made, 12 types of macroscopic fungi were obtained from 2 divisions, 2 classes, 5 orders, 7 families, 11 genera and 12 species. Most of the fungal species found are from the Polyporaceae family, of which there are 5 species including: Lentinus strigosus, Trametes pubescens, Trametes versicolor, Pycnoporus coccineus and Ganoderma applanatum.
