Abstract
Extensive fieldwork in all 33 districts including different forests of Gujarat state during 2007 to 2014 resulted in the collection of 349 fungal taxa. Among them, 19 species represented the family Xylariaceae belonging to three genera viz. Daldinia (3 species), Hypoxylon (2 species) and Xylaria (14 species). From these species, Daldinia concentrica, D. eschscholtzii, Hypoxylon begae, Xylaria curta, X. feejeensis, X. polymorpha and X. regalis are reported previously, while Daldinia childiae, Hypoxylon rickii, Xylaria apiculata, X. carpophila, X. cubensis, X. filiformis, X. gigentea, X. hypoxylon, X. longipes, X. nigripes, X. primorskensis and X. psidii are recorded for the first time from Gujarat. All the species are saprobic except Hypoxylon fragiforme and Xylaria polymorpha, which are exclusively observed on the bark of Bombax ceiba and Lannea coromandelica as well as dead trees. The distribution, habitat, morphology of the identified species are described in this article.
