Abstract
Zagros is a mountainous region in Western Asia, extending roughly along the western borders of Iran. Knowledge on aphyllophoroid fungi in the region is very scanty, and no survey has been made in the area. As part of an inventory of aphyllophoroids in selected protected areas in Zagros region, 32 species belonging to 6 orders, 11 families, and 25 genera are reported for the first time from Zagros. Botryobasidium robustius, Corticium endoxylon, C. erikssonii, C. lombardiae, C. meridioroseum, Eichleriella leucophaea, Phellinus rimosus, Phlebia bresadolae, and Sanghuangporus lonicerinus are newly reported from Iran. The nuclear ribosomal ITS barcode sequences are provided for 14 species (including five species sequenced for the first time), and 28S rDNA LSU sequences are given for three species. Most of the identified species belong to the orders Polyporales and Hymenochaetales.
