The aim of this paper was to present all available data (species diversity, brief ecology and distribution) on Pyronemataceae fungi in the country. Compiled species list includes data from existing literature (12 publications), 128 data from the MACFUNGI database, 110 exsiccates from the Macedonian Collection of Fungi (MCF) and our own field research trips, observations and identification. A total of 28 species belonging to 12 genera have been recorded. The highest number of species belongs to the genera Otidea (7), Scutellinia (4) and Genea (3 species). The most frequent species are Aleuria aurantia, Humaria hemisphaerica and Scutellinia scutellata. The species Genea fragrans, G. hispidula, G. verrucosa, Geopora arenicola and G. sumneriana are hypogeous fungi. Five genera (Anthracobia, Cheilymenia, Melastiza, Trichophaea, Trichophaeopsis) and 14 species ...

We analysed all available herbarium material and conducted additional systematic surveys of over fifty localities with a potential vegetation and ecology for hypogeous fungi. The following species were recorded: Balsamia vulgaris, Elaphomyces granulatus, E. reticu-latus, Genea fragrans, G. hispidula, G. verrucosa, Geopora arenicola, G. sumneriana, Hymenogaster arenarius, H. luteus, H. lycoperdineus, H. olivaceus, Melanogaster bromenianus, M. tuberiformis, and Radiigera atrogleba. Taxonomically these species are in the group of Ascomycota (Elaphomyc-etales and Pezizales), and in the group of Basidiomycota (Agaricales, Cortinariales and Geastrales). No representatives of Zygomycota were recorded up to date. We provide a brief ecology, locality, a summary distribution maps, and a review of areal distribution for each species. Twelve species were recorded and analysed for the first time in the Republic of Macedonia.
