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.
