Abstract
A new species of Infundibulicybe kotanensis from district Buner, Pakistan is described and illustrated. Phytogeographically this region is part of the floristically unique Sino-Japanese region. The cogent climate and diverse vegetation are favorable for the growth of different mushrooms. The new species is described based on morphological study and compared with closely related taxa in the genus. Phylogenetic placement using the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) bar-code region confirms the novelty of I. kotanensis.
