Abstract

The objectives of this study are to summarize and present a checklist of species of conidial and lichenized fungi from the Caxiuanã National Forest (FLONA) in the state of Pará, Brazil. Data from this checklist were obtained from herbarium collections and the literature, resulting from field expeditions carried out at FLONA of Caxiuanã between 1995 and 2013. These groups of fungi are mostly in the phylum Ascomycota. A total of 233 species were identified for Caxiuanã, being 56 species of conidial fungi and 177 of lichenized fungi. The species Septomyrothecium uniseptatum Matsush. and Pyrenidium zamiae (Müll. Arg.) Matzer represent the first records for Brazil. New records for Pará and FLONA of Caxiuanã are presented. The geographical distribution in Brazil is given for all species. These data demonstrate the importance of studies on the mycobiota of areas with scant or nonexistent data.
