ABSTRACT Brazil has a rich biodiversity, but many species remain to be discovered, studied and cataloged. In the Paraíba State, taxonomy studies on agaric fungi are still infrequent. Thus, this present work carried out a bibliographic review of fungal species belonging to orders Agaricales, Boletales, Cantharellales Gomphales and Russulales from the Paraíba State previously described or mentioned, because the knowledge about the fungal diversity in the region still remain disaggregated and poorly known. Thus, we organize and present information about the geographic distribution of the taxa in this checklist format. For the compilation of the results, for each species we present the published herbarium numbers and their respective citations. As results, we found 79 taxa belonging 41 genera, 22 families and five orders occurring in areas of the Atlantic Forest and Caatinga. So, this review is extremely important for the dissemination of the valuation of the State’s biodiversity providing information about our Brazilian biomes.
