Macrofungi form fruiting bodies that can be detected with the naked eye in the field and handled by hand. They mostly consist of basidiomycetes, but also include some ascomycetes. Mycology in Pakistan is still in its infancy, but there have been many historical reports and checklists of macrofungi occurrence from its 15 ecoregions, which range from Himalayan alpine grasslands and subtropical pine forests to deserts and xeric shrublands. In this work, we searched and reviewed the historical literature and the GenBank database for compiling a comprehensive list of macrofungi reported from Pakistan to date. We recorded 1,293 species belonging to 411 genera, 115 families and 24 orders. These occurrences were updated taxonomically following the classification system currently proposed in the Index Fungorum website. The highest represented order by taxon number is Agaricales (47%) with 31 families, 146 genera and 602 species, followed by Polyporales (11%), Russulales (9%) and Pezizales (8%). Genera occurrence reported therein are presented for each ecoregion to the best of our ability given the data. We also discussed the currently known macrofungi diversity between different ecoregions in Pakistan. Overall, this work should serve as a solid foundation for the inclusion of Pakistan macrofungi in global biodiversity and conservation studies.
大型真菌形成肉眼在野外即可检测到且能用手处理的子实体。它们大多由担子菌组成，但也包括一些子囊菌。巴基斯坦的真菌学仍处于起步阶段，不过已有许多关于其15个生态区域大型真菌出现情况的历史报告和清单，这些生态区域涵盖喜马拉雅高山草原、亚热带松林、沙漠和干旱灌木丛。在这项工作中，我们搜索并查阅了历史文献和GenBank数据库，以编制一份截至目前已报道的巴基斯坦大型真菌综合清单。我们记录了属于411属、115科和24目的1293种。这些记录依据《真菌索引》网站目前提议的分类系统在分类学上进行了更新。按分类单元数量计算，占比最高的目是伞菌目（47%），有31科、146属和602种，其次是多孔菌目（11%）、红菇目（9%）和盘菌目（8%）。根据现有数据，我们尽可能列出了每个生态区域中所报道的属的出现情况。我们还讨论了巴基斯坦不同生态区域目前已知的大型真菌多样性。总体而言，这项工作应为将巴基斯坦大型真菌纳入全球生物多样性和保护研究奠定坚实基础。
