Abstract
ABSTRACT Brazil has a rich biodiversity, but many species remain to be discovered, studied and cataloged. In the Paraíba State, taxonomy studies on agaric fungi are still infrequent. Thus, this present work carried out a bibliographic review of fungal species belonging to orders Agaricales, Boletales, Cantharellales Gomphales and Russulales from the Paraíba State previously described or mentioned, because the knowledge about the fungal diversity in the region still remain disaggregated and poorly known. Thus, we organize and present information about the geographic distribution of the taxa in this checklist format. For the compilation of the results, for each species we present the published herbarium numbers and their respective citations. As results, we found 79 taxa belonging 41 genera, 22 families and five orders occurring in areas of the Atlantic Forest and Caatinga. So, this review is extremely important for the dissemination of the valuation of the State’s biodiversity providing information about our Brazilian biomes.
Highlights
It is known that Brazil has a rich biodiversity, with Cerrado and Mata Atlântica biomes considered as hotspots for biodiversity conservation, and the Pantanal biome as the largest swamped area of the world (Brandon et al 2005)
The objective of this work is to perform a bibliographic overview of agaric fungi of Paraíba State, for improve the current status of knowledge of this group of fungi in this region
For the species compilation we performed a bibliographic survey in which the species are presented with their citation and region of the State where the materials were collected, including respective herbarium voucher’s deposit

Recent studies by Dentinger et al (2016) described Agaricales divided into the suborders Hygrophorineae (containing Clavariaceae and Hygrophoraceae), Pleurotineae (Pleurotaceae and Pterulaceae), Schizophyllineae (Fistulinaceae and Schizophyllaceae), Marasmiineae (Cyphellaceae, Mararmiaceae, Mycenaceae, Omphalotaceae and Physalacriaceae), Tricholomatineae (Entolomataceae, Lyophyllaceae, Macrocystidiaceae and Tricholomataceae), 1.
