Abstract :
During surveys in 2008-2009 for exploring the mushroom flora of southern Kashmir Himalyas, two species of mushrooms, Sarcoscypha coccinea (Jacq.) Sacc. and Scutellinia scutellata (L.) Lamb. were reported for the first time from the Kashmir Valley. These two species of mushroom were identified on the basis of morphological, reproductive and other characteristics like colour variation in fruiting bodies, habitat, puffing sound of spore dispersal, etc.
