Five new species and a new variety of rust fungi (Pucciniales) are described from Iran: Uromyces matinii on Gagea dubia, Uromyces arasbaranensis on Silene italica, Uromyces taleshensis on Colchicum sp., Uromyces kaviriae on Kaviria gossypina, Uromyces iranensis on Hordeum vulgare, and Puccinia calcitrapae var. cirsii-rhizocephali on Cirsium rhizoce...

... were mostly in groups confluent with each other, sometimes in a circle around a central sorus. Teliospores were fusoid, ellipsoid, or clavate, 27.5-45 × 12.5-17.5 µm, rounded or pointed above, slightly to visibly constricted at the septum, wall pale yellow to light yellowish-brown, smooth, about 1.5 µm thick at sides and up to 7.5 µm at the apex (Fig. 1). The rust on Herniaria is generally referred to P. herniariae. Above rust, the specimen was compared with authentic material of P. arenaria on its type host Moehringia trinervia (L.) Clairv., from Lower Austria (F. Petrak Mycoteca generalis no. 845). Both specimens were indistinguishable and similar. This comparison convinced the ...

... kaviriae M. Abbasi, sp. nov. -MycoBank MB 838208 - (Fig. 10) Etymology: The species is named after the genus of its host Kaviria. Spermogonia and aecia not seen. Few uredinia were present. Sori were cinnamon-brown, hypophyllous, round to elliptic, exposed, pulverulent with remaining host epidermis around sori. Urediniospores were 21-31 × 16-21 µm, oblong-ellipsoid, oblong, obovoid or ellipsoid, ...

This review paper provides the first attempt at compiling a classification of all taxa in the kingdom Fungi and fungus-like taxa, reported from Iran until the end of 2021. The list of all fungal genera reported from Iran and their placement at the higher-level classification (phyla, classes, orders and families) is presented. The number of described species per genus is also given. The country harbors 4500 species under 1194 genera, 366 families, 116 orders, 38 classes and 13 phyla. Of these, 4271 species distributed in 1150 genera, 353 families, 107 orders, 34 classes and 10 phyla belong to the kingdom Fungi. The remaining taxa belong to two fungus-like kingdoms: Chromista (191 species, 23 genera, four families, four orders, two classes and one phylum) and Protozoa (38 species, 21 genera, nine families, five orders, two classes and two phyla). Ascomycota (2278 species, 656 genera, 184 families, 55 orders and 11 classes) and Basidiomycota (1857 species, 441 genera, 139 families, 39 orders and 11 classes) predominate other groups.
