I am Professor Kishore Rajput, an anatomist, botanist and mycologist with a deep interest in the study of fungal taxonomy. Under my supervision, the first comprehensive checklist of fungi from Gujarat, India was published in 2015. It has been my privilege to mentor Dr. Ravi Patel and Mr. Ajit Vasava, whose dedication and passion for fungi have led them to continuously expand this research.
