The present work provides a catalog of 73 fungal species (Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes)
encountered between 2000- 2008 in the Moroccan central plateau. Among them, 19 species are new
for this region and 17 are new to the fungal flora of Morocco : Agrocybe arvalis, Bovista pila,
Collybia hybrida, Collybia ocior, Copelandia panaeolus, Entoloma mougeotii, Hebeloma pumilum,
Lactarius pterosporus, Leccinum scabrum, Russula betulina, Russula exalbicans, Russula
cyanoxantha, Russula krombholzii, Russula gracillima, Sarcosphaera crassa, Trametes versicolor et
Tricholoma inamoenum. Similarly, other species not identified, were encountered, they belong to the
genera of Agaricus, Agrocybe, Inocybe, Entoloma, Pluteus, Psathyrella, Lycoperdon, Collybia,
Leccinum, Paxillus, Lactarius and Russula. The determination of these species, not considered in the
catalog, was not carried out until the end because of the insufficient number of the encountered
specimens. This study is still not exhaustive but will contribute to the development of fungal
inventory of Morocco.
