Abstract

The findings of Xeromphalina enigmatica and Xeromphalina brunneola (Mycenaceae) are described and illustrated macroscopically and microscopically. We also sequenced the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS-5.8S-ITS2) of the rDNA of these fungi, growing in moist temperate forests of Ayubia National Park and Kaghan valley, Pakistan during the rainy season of July–September 2016, 2020 and 2021. Both taxa originally described from the North America and also found in Russia. These are first time being reported from Pakistan and were analyzed morphologically and phylogenetically.
