This research discovered and documented new species of mushrooms in Thailand, specifically focusing on the genus Helvella (saddle fungi). The study is significant because it shows that tropical regions contain previously unknown fungal species, expanding our understanding of global fungal diversity. Impacts on everyday life: • Contributes to the documentation and preservation of fungal biodiversity • Helps identify potentially edible mushroom species • Improves our understanding of forest ecosystems and plant-fungal relationships • Aids in the conservation of tropical forests and their fungi • Provides new knowledge for mushroom cultivation and biotechnology
