Abstract: To understand the diversity of macrofungal flora in Huangpushan Nature Reserve of Anhui Province, an investigation was conducted on the geographical components of the flora. A total of 103 macrofungal species were identified, belonging to 48 genera of 24 families. The dominant families were Tricholomataceae (14 species, 13.59%), Russulaceae (11 species, 10.68%), Cortinariaceae (10 species, 9.71%), and Polyporaceae (10 species, 9.71%), and the dominant genera were Lactarius (8 species, 7.77%), Psathyrella (6 species, 5.83%), Cortinarius (5 species, 4.85%), and Marasmius (5 species, 4.85%). Geographically, the genera could be divided into four components, i.e., cosmopolitan (58.33%), pantropical (29.17%), north temperate (10.42%), and tropical or subtropical (2.08%), and the species could be grouped into four components, i.e., cosmopolitan (45 species, 43.69%), tropical or subtropical (31 species, 30.1%), temperate (24 species, 23.3%), and Eurasia North America Australia (3 species, 2.91%). It was suggested that the geographical components of macrofungal flora in Huangpushan Nature Reserve were largely cosmopolitan, followed by tropical or subtropical and by north temperate.
