Abstract

The genus Ramaria is a globally distributed genus inhabiting different substrates. In the present study samples of Ramaria barenthalensis, were collected during a fungal survey from Neelum Valley, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. Identification was carried out through combined morpho-anatomical and nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence analysis that confirmed its position as Ramaria barenthalensis. The taxon is a new record to fungi of Kashmir, Pakistan.
