Abstract:
Media in biology learning is one of the means so that students understand the concept of biology in a broad sense. This encourages researchers to develop learning media in the form of macroscopic fungi booklets. This study aims to describe the characteristics and identify the types of macroscopic fungi found on the banks of the Kembang River natural tourism river and to describe the results of the validity of the macroscopic fungi booklet on the banks of the Kembang River natural tourism river as a learning medium for high school students. This research uses the descriptive method and 4D development method. The results showed that the characteristics of macroscopic fungi can be seen from the shape of the hood, the surface of the hood, its hymenophores, the shape of the stem, color, presence or absence of annulus and odor, and the type of substrate where the fungus grows. Macroscopic fungi found on the banks of the Sungai Kembang Nature Tourism river are divided by taxon level into 2 divisions, 3 classes, 4 orders, 6 familia, 8 genera, and 17 species. Utilization of research results on types of macroscopic fungi on the banks of the Kembang River natural tourism river is then presented in the form of a booklet (learning media) which gets an average expert validity of 82.10% with very valid criteria and suitable for use as a learning medium.
