Abstract

In our ongoing efforts to inventory the lepiotaceous fungi of Pakistan, we here report on two species, new to Pakistan: Lepiota cingulum is also new to Asia, and L. oreadiformis. Morphological characters and nrITS data were used to identify the specimens. Photographs, detailed descriptions and line drawing illustrate these records.
