SUMMARY
The Middle Atlas is considered as an area that offers an important natural resource. Yet, the condition of its mycoflora is not utilized because of the lack of data. This fungal flora has a richness of 1032 species belonging to the Division Basidiomycota, divided into 24 orders, 68 families and 184 genera. The present catalog of fungal flora constitutes a large contribution to the knowledge of the biodiversity of fungi in Middle Atlas. The species are completed and updated with new science and arranged according to the main mycological classification.
