Djafar Ershad and Rasoul Zare Research Institute of Plant Protection Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection Mycology in Iran: A historical review Study of fungi in Iran was initiated by foreign mycologists. Most of these mycologists have not visited Iran but they received fungal material from botanists who came to Iran for plant collections. These botanists also collected fungi separately or their plant material was examined by mycologists for epiphytic/parasitic fungi. As the result the list of fungi separately or together with the list of plants was published in European literature. In order to summarize the history of mycology in Iran five periods are described here:
1. First period: until 1860 In this early period of time there is no sign of Iranian fungi in the literature and in case there was anything published, it was never noticed by later mycologists. 2. Second period: from 1860 to 1941 In fact study on Iranian fungi was started in this period. In this period all publications on Iranian fungi belong to foreign researchers. These in chronological order are listed here. 1. The first publication on Iranian fungi is published by two European botanists, E. Boissier and F. Buhse, where 33 fungal species, mostly cap fungi, are named. The fungi in this publication (Boissier & Buhse 1860) were collected by F. Buhse. 2. Rabenhorst (1871) authored the second publication based on fungi collected by C. Haussknecht during two excursions in Iran. 3. M.C. Cooke in a publication (Cooke 1880) together with the fungi of other parts of the world named eight Iranian species collected from Kurdistan and Loristan provinces. 4. Another contributor to Iranian mycology was Wettstein (1885) who studied Iranian fungi collected by J.F. Polak and Th. Pitcher. 5. Masse (1899) published a list of various fungi containing two Iranian species. 6. Study of Iranian fungi was continued more seriously when J. Bornmüller, famous botanist, started his excursions in Asian countries. This scientist collected fungi together with plants. The material collected by Bornmüller were given to famous mycologists such as P. Magnus and H. Sydow. Bornmüller himself reported part of the fungi he collected together with plants in two publications (Bornmüller 1908, 1911). Another part of the fungi were reported by Sydow & Sydow (1908a, 1908b). The rest and the majority of the fungi were identified by P. Magnus and published in six papers (Magnus 1896, 1899, 1899, 1903, 1912). 7. Worth to mention that Chatin (1897) reported two species of Iranian truffles. 8. Another mycologist who published three Iranian fungal species based on material collected by O. Paulsen from central Asia and Iran was Rostrup (1908).
