Abstract
During several surveys carried out in 1986 and 1987 in the North-West Frontier Province, Northern Areas and the State of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, a sizeable collection of fungi was made. Of this, 12 fungi were recorded parasitising a dozen new hosts including timber species, orchard plants, condiments, medicinal herbs and weeds. However, earlier workers (Ahmad 1956, 1956, 1978; Spaudling 1961; Sadiq and Shah 1986) have significantly contributed to the records of fungi and their hosts occurring in different regions of the country. The present article describes the fungi comprising 3 Classes: Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Fungi Imperfect with information on habitat, locality and date of collection etc. Five types of diseases, i.e., powdery mildews, rusts, needle blight, leaf spot and root rot were found incited by the fungi on previously unreported hosts.
