ABDUL RAZAQ AND SALEEM SHAHZAD
Abstract
Samples of Basidiomycetous fungi were collected from different parts of Gilgit, Pakistan. Spore prints were prepared by removing the stalk and placing the cap overnight on a white sheet. The samples were brought to the laboratory of Biological Sciences department, KIU, Gilgit, for further in-vitro investigation. During this research work 15 species have been collected and identified viz., Krombholziella oxydabilis, Krombholziella scabra, Leccinum carpini, Leccinum crocipodium, Leccinum versipelle, (Order Boletales: Family: Boletaceae); Gyrodonlividus (Order Boletales: Family: Strobilomycetaceae); Porphyrellus psedoscaber, Tylopilusfelleus (Order Boletales: Family: Gyrodontaceae); Omphalotus olearius (Order Boletales: Family: Paxillaceae); Inocybe agardhii, Inocybe geophylla, Inocybe nappies, Naucoria centunculus (Order Cortinariales: Family Cortinariaceae); Ganoderma applanatum (Order Ganodermetales: Family Ganodermataceae); and Inonotus radiates (Order Hymenochaetales: Family Hymenochaetaceae). All these species appeared to be new records from Gilgit-Baltistan, not hitherto reported.
