This study has been undertaken to investigate the diversity of the wood rotting fungi from a disturbed and undisturbed forest of Meghalaya using the traditional sacred grove forests that are present in the state. A two year study was conducted in which a total of 42 species wood rotting fungi were identified. 19 species were recorded from the disturbed sacred grove and 36 species were recorded from the undisturbed sacred grove. A total of 13 species of the wood rotting fungi were found to be common in both the forests. Species diversity indices of the wood rotting fungi also showed that the diversity was higher in the undisturbed than the disturbed sacred grove.
