Abstract
The Himalayas are remarkably diverse and unique in terms of flora and fauna. Most of the Himalayan regions of India are either unexplored or poorly explored. Resupinatus poriaeformis is reported here as a new record from India. A morphological description is presented along with the taxonomic and ecological notes.
Plain Language Summary
The Indian Himalayas are a hotspot for unique plants and animals, yet many areas remain largely unexplored. During a survey in this region, scientists discovered a fungus, Resupinatus~poriaeformis, that has never been documented in India before. This new record highlights the hidden biodiversity of the mountains. The study provides the first detailed description of the Indian specimen’s appearance and its role in the local ecosystem. Such finds underscore the importance of exploring these remote areas to fully understand and conserve the rich life they hold.
