Abstract
The 24 taxa comprising of 13 genera belonging to Polyporaceae (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) are described and illustrated on the basis of basidiome collected during the rainy season in the years from 2014–2019 in Doda, Jammu, Kathua, Kishtwar, Ramban, and Udhampur districts of Jammu division of the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir. Of these, five (Dichomitus campestris, Perenniporia adnata, Pilatoporus bondartsevae, Polyporus efibulatus, and Tyromyces amazonicus) are new records for India, 14 (Abortiporus biennis, Cerrena zonata, Favolus glaber, Fuscopostia leucomallella, Hexagonia nitida, Lenzites elegans, Lenzites warnieri, Perreniporia fraxniea, P. ochroleuca, Poriella subacida, Polyporus alveolaris, Pycnoporus sanguineus, Tyromyces chioneus, and Trichaptum biforme), are new records for the Union territory of Jammu & Kashmir, two (Pycnoporus cinnabarinus and Polyporus squamosus), and the remaining three (Fomes fomentarius, Lenzites betulina, and Trichaptum abietinum) are re-recorded from the study area.
