Macrofungi, fundamental in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling, also present high biotechnological potential due to their production of ligninolytic enzymes and bioactive metabolites. Therefore, this study recorded and characterized macrofungal species of the Polyporaceae family in an urban forest fragment in the Novo Progresso neighborhood, in Tabatinga-AM. Collections were carried out between August and November 2024, with identification based on macromorphological characteristics. The sampled area has dense vegetation, moist soil, and rich leaf litter, conditions favorable to fungal development. Six species were identified: Pycnoporus sanguineus, Earliella scabrosa, Hexagonia hydnoides, Lentinus crinitus, Lentinus berteroi, and Phallus indusiatus. These species stand out for their ecological relevance and potential for industrial and environmental applications, such as bioremediation, enzyme production, and the development of bioactive compounds. The results highlight the importance of urban forest fragments as reservoirs of mycological biodiversity in the Amazon, even in urbanized contexts. The analysis of environmental parameters, such as soil moisture and pH, demonstrated ideal conditions for macrofungal fruiting. It is concluded that knowledge about macrofungal diversity in Amazonian urban areas is essential for conservation strategies and the sustainable use of local biodiversity.
