It is supposed that the history of the mycology in Cyprus started with this data
Summary
In the first record, Chatin (1897) dealt with Terfezia aphroditis. Nattrass (1937) in the most important work ever done in Cyprus, were documented 92 species of anamorphic fungi, 104 species of ascomycetes, 148 species of basidiomycetes and 22 species of zygomycetes; Nattrass & Papaioannou (1938) added 20 species more. Most authors dealt with single species originating from Cyprus: Tsopelas & Nicolau (2005) reported Heterobasidion annosum for the first time and Tsopelas et al (2008) researched Seiridium cardinale and Neophytou & Ioannou (2009) recorded Graphiola phoenicis.
