Identification of airborne mycoflora associated with plantcoverage in Golestan forest

In order to taxonomic study of fungi associated with plant coverage in forest areas of Golestan province, collections from host plants with leaf spot symptoms were obtained during spring-autumn 2014-2015. 49 species from 31 genera of fungi on 40 plant genera belonging to 25 plant families were identified. Among these, taxa including Colletotrichum truncatum on Colutea sp., Marssonina fragariae on Potentila sp., Mycosphaerella filicum on Pteris sp., Passalora alni on Alnus glutinosa, Phoma macrostoma on Ruscus hyrcanus, Pseudocladosporium hachijoens on Diospyros lotus, Septoria mathiolae on Mathiola sp., Septoria melissae on Hyssopus sp., Sphaerulina gei on Geum sp. found to be new for mycobiota of Iran. Furthermore taxa including Cercospora sp. on Eruca sp., Discosia sp. 1 on Crataegus sp., Discosia sp. 2 on Diospyros lotus, Discosia sp. 3 on Phylitis sp. and Pycnofusarium sp. on Ruscus hyrcanus Study did not specify the name of the species level. Order taxa detected including Alternaria alternata, Alternaria teniussima, Cercospora mercurialis, Cercospora pantoleuca, Cercospora violae, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Cladosporium macrocarpum, Ramularia rubella, Ramularia sambucina, Ramularia grevilleana, Sirosporium celtidis, Trichothecium roseum, Boeremia hedericola, Didymosporina aceris, Diplodia seriata, Marssonina juglandis, Phoma sp., Polystigma rubrum, Septoria convolvuli, Rhytisma acerinum, Erysiphe alphitoides, Erysiphe arcuata, Erysiphe convolvuli, Erysiphe cruciferarum, Golovinomyces cynoglossi, Golovinomyces sordidus, Phyllactinia alnicola, Podosphaera clandestina, Podosphaera euphorbiae, Podosphaera tridactyla, Gymnosporangium confusum, Melampsora epitea, Melampsora euphorbiae, Melampsora hypericorum, Puccinia convolvuli, Puccinia violae, Tranzschelia prunispinosa And Uromyces viciae-fabae already have been reported of Iran. Also new Host plants were identified for previously been introduced fungi of Iran.
