Abstract

Informations on Algerian mycobiota are scattered through a wide array of journals,
books, dissertations and the lack of comprehensive catalogs or checklists makes difficult to
apprehend it diversity. By screening all available bibliographic sources and herbaria catalogues it
was possible to delineate 97 species belonging to 31 genera and from which 9 species have not
been yet reported in the literature for Algeria. This checklist is the first comprehensive species
list fully dedicated to Algerian Protozoan Fungal Analogues.
