An annotated check-list of reported from soil and other terricolous substrates in Egypt A. F. Moustafa* & A. M.

Abstract By screening of available sources of intormation, it was possible to tigure out a range of 310 taxa that could be representing Egyptian Ascomycota up to the present time. In this treatment. concern was given to ascomycetous fungi of almost all terricolous substrates while phytopathogenic and aquatic torms are not included. According to the scheme proposed by Kirk et a!. (2008). reported taxa in Egypt belonged to 88 genera in 31 families, and l l orders. In view of this scheme. very few numbers of taxa remained without certain taxonomic position (im:ertae sedis). It is also worthy to be mentioned that among species included in the list. twenty-eight are introduced to the ascosporic mycobiota as novel taxa based on type materials collected ti·om Egyptian habitats. The list includes also 19 species which are considered new records to the general mycobiota of Egypt. When species richness and substrate preference, as impotiant ecological parameters. are considered. it has been noticed that Egyptian Ascomycota shows some interesting features noteworthy to be mentioned. At the substrate level, clay soils. came first by hosting a range of I 08 taxa to Ilowed by deseti soils (60 taxa). At the taxonomic level, . compared to other orders, accommodated the greatest number of taxa i.e. 92 taxa followed by Eurotiales (61 taxa). and Trichocomaceae are by far the richest families by housing 61 taxa. At the generic level, Chaetomium occupied the tirst place among all reported genera by including 51 species followed by Arthroderma ( 15 spp.). Provisional keys to the identitication of reported taxa are given.

Introduction isolations from different sources. Species of each group were given in a taxonomic sequence. Accepted Informations about Egyptian ascosporic fungi names were highlighted in bold and synonyms were are very rare and limited because members of the also mentioned. The systematic arrangement in the group were either overlooked during investigations present list tollows the latest system of classification 11 or never been the sole target of any investigation appearing in the I 0' edition of Anisworth & Bisby's betore until Abdel-Azeem (2003) conducted a survey Dictionary of the fungi (Kirk et a/. 2008).

Key VII Macroscopic fleshy ascomycetes (morels and truffles) Biologically morels are quite different from truffles, while morels are free living saprotrophs growing on decaying leaf litter in forests, truffles are obligate symbionts with roots of woody trees and/or desert annuals. Ascomata are morphologically distinct, being mushroom-like in morels and tuber-like in truffles. However spore dispersal in both groups depends on mammal mycophagy; asci cylindrical in morels, broadly-clavate in truffles; ascospores un iseriate in morels and irregular in truffles.
