The rainforests of the Anamalai hills in the Western Ghats India provide ideal conditions for the occurence of a wide diversity of remarkable fungi. This booklet presents a brief introduction to the rich diversity of fungi in the Anamalai hills, which we hope will encourage naturalists to observe this fascinating group in the field. The fungi are identified only to the genus level and are grouped according to their macroscopic features with each group having a different colour code. In this booklet, the authors deal only with macrofungi (large fungi with visible fruiting bodies).
