Abstract
The chapter is divided into five sections which include: the need to collect these fungi, their habitat, procedures to collect them, their processing for further action. The last two sections deal with the procedures to isolate them in vitro and their preservation and the examination of the specimens for identification. The pre-requisites for the collection and Do’s and Do not’s concerning field study are discussed in brief. The various procedures for in vitro isolation and preservation are also given.
