This paper highlighted the different macrofungi in multistorey agroforestry systems in Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve, Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines. Specimens were collected in August 2013 and identified and classified based on their micro- and macro-morphological characteristics. A total of 20 species belonged to 17 genera and 15 families were listed and described in the taxonomic checklist. These were Agaricus perfuscus, Auricularia auricula, Auricularia polytrica, Boletinellus sp., Cantharellus infundibuliformis, Coprinus sp., Corticum sp., Crepidotus herbarun, Ganoderma applanatum, Ganoderma lucidum, Geastrum triplex, Marasmius scorodinius, Oudemansiella canarii, Lentinus tigrinus, Lentinus sajor-caju, Polystictus sp., Schizophyllum commune, Stereum sp., Tremella sp., and Termitomyces clypeatus. Among the 15 families, Polyporaceae and Ganodermataceae were recorded as the most abundant family. Most species were edible wood decaying fungi and some were non-edible and remain unexploited. Therefore, multistorey agroforestry system in Mt. Makiling is a natural habitat for a wide variety of valued macrofungi waiting to be harnessed for several bio-potentialities.
