IDENTIFICATION OF MACROSCOPIC FUNGI TYPES IN THE BANTIMURUNG BULUSARAUNG NATIONAL PARK AREA, SAMANGKI VILLAGE, MAROS REGENCY AS READING MATERIAL FOR FUNGI MATERIAL

Abstract

This study aims to determine the diversity of macroscopic fungi in the Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park Area, Samangki Village, Maros Regency in order to compile reading materials in the form of biomagazines. The results of the study are in the form of photos of species and identification of each species which are then compiled into reading materials in the form of biomagazines. Biomagazines are designed using Microsoft Office Word applications combined with graphic design applications using Canva Design. This type of research is descriptive research that aims to describe the diversity of macroscopic fungi, especially Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. Data were collected directly from the field using an exploration method by directly exploring the research location. The process of identifying macroscopic fungi was carried out by comparing images using identification applications (GBIF.org, MushroomExpert.com and Google Lens), literature reviews, expert opinions, and the process of compiling biomagazines went through a validation stage by expert lecturers who have been declared valid with an average score of 4.70. The results of the study are the identification of macroscopic fungi which are then compiled into reading materials inthe form of practical biomagazines.
