Abstract: The fungus Basidiomycota found in Indonesia have very high diversity, but have not been explored so far. Development of fungi Basidiomycota is an alternative as a source of natural nutraceuticals, especially beta glucan and lovastatin compounds. This compound can be used in the pharmaceutical and food fields. This study aims to obtain Basidiomycota fungi isolates that have the potential as a nutraceutical source. As the first stage in this research, the activities carried out were exploration, isolation on culture media, and identification of fungi based on genotypic characters. The results showed that the fungi identified based on their genotypic characters were Pleurotusostreatus, Ganodermacf, Resinaceum, Lentinulaedodes, Vanderbyliafraxinea, Auricularia delicate, Pleurotusgiganteus, Auricularia sp. and Tricholomagiganteum. Selected mushrooms that have the potential as a source of nutraceuticals will be further tested to determine the content of lovastatin and beta glucan.
