Abstract

Nineteen species of gasteroid fungi of 10 genera and six families were recorded in steppe and semi-desert habitats of Georgia, the South Caucasus, in 2019 within the framework of a research project “Dryland cryptogams of Georgia: diversity, conservation and potential as bioindicators of desertification” supported by Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation. Five species: Cyathus stercoreus (Schwein.) De Toni, Disciseda bovista (Klotzsch) Henn., Gastrosporium simplex Mattir., Geastrum floriforme Vittad. and Geastrum xerophilum Long ex Desjardin are new for Georgia’s mycobiota.
