Abstract:

Barley fields and storages in GolestanProvince (northeastern Iran in south bank of the Caspian Sea), surveyed in 2005 and 40 grain samples were randomly collected for identification of fungi associated with them. Fungi were isolated from these samples by agar plating, deep freezing blotter and seed washing methods. Some six hundred fungal isolates were obtained, among which 30 species belonging to 17 genera were identified. Predominant species belonged to genera Alternaria, Aspergillus and Fusarium. Six species are new records to the mycoflora of Iran as follows: Acremaniella verrocusa, Emericella variecolor, Chaetomium nigricolor, Cladosporium spongiosum, Gilmaniella humicola and Papulaspora pannosa.
