Abstract: This is a working draft and brings together a fungi species checklists from 2 seminal publications on the fungi of Bhutan as well as recent specimen collections. In Bhutan, there are more than 660 species which have been identified from surveys on traditional crop uses from several districts including Thimphu, Paro, Bumthang, Tashiyangtse, Punakha and Sarpang dzongkas. However, it is speculated that  Bhutan's mycoflora is likely much larger due to its diverse climatic and geographical conditions.

In 1999, the Department of Botany, Panjab University published the first record of the fungi in Bhutan. This was a result extensive plant exploration/collection trips made by Panjab University faculty, and the efforts have culminated in the publication of several floras/monographs on different plant groups including fungi. The publication of “Fungi of Bhutan" by Dr I.B. Prasher is another addition to the series of monographs on Himalayan Fungi published from the mycology lab of the department. It is based on detailed investigation of 1500 fungal collections made during 1979-1983. This comprehensive work deals with 306 species under 138 genera and is the first of its kind on the systematic and ecology of fungi of Bhutan. As many as 6 species were described for the first time and recent nomenclatural details were provided for others.
