During an investigation on pteridophytes (ferns) of Guilan province (N Iran), 402 specimens were studied. Of these, 44 species, under 21 genera, belonging to 13 families, were identified. Based on the approved instruction given by the "International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN)", after performing the filtering stage, 17 species were identified as endangered. The results showed that different threat factors could be considered as an important step to all endangered plants. Deforestation, road-construction, uncontrolled grazing together with invasion of non-indigenous plants, are the most causes considered as threat factors in relation to fern community of the area. It also showed that, out of 44 species that are so far identified from the area, one is considered as critically endangered (CR), five as endangered (EN), five as vulnerable (VU) and six as rare (R) species. In addition, 20 species have suitable population, hence, do not need much attention.

In order to identify Ramularia species and morphologically similar genera, collections from different localities in Hamedan, Kurdestan and Northern provinces of Iran were obtained and examined during spring-summer 2010–11. All specimens belonging to the genus Ramularia and other morphologically similar genera deposited in the fungus reference collection of the Iranian Ministry of Agriculture were also re-examined.

Fungi belonging to the genus Geastrum are known as earth stars due to different layers with specific alignment in fruit-bodies. In this paper four species of the genus Geastrum viz. G. coronatum, G. rufescens, G. saccatum and G. schmidelii were reported as new for Iran. Previously reported specimen, G. corollinum (as G. recolligens)was newly collected and was studied in details. Newly reported species were redescribed and illustrated with microphotographs and drawings.

The geographic distribution of Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) was analyzed using a database of 12377 geo-referenced observations. In the old world (including Asia, Africa and Europe) there are ca. 2900 euploid species classified in 166 distinct sections. In this study using geographic information system (GIS) by means of DIVA-GIS (ver. 4) distribution map of some more important sections in the old world was illustrated. A grid of 50 × 50 km cells were used to map the biodiversity and species richness. These maps showed west Asia with over half of all species and ca. 1000 endemics is most significant region.

Forty-one soil and root samples from the rhizosphere of some dominant plants of deserts of Semnan province (NE Iran) were collected and examined in this survey. No mycorrhizal symbiosis was found in 24% of the collected plants, while in 76% of them mycorrhizal symbiosis was detected as fungal structures in roots or AMF spores in soils. The highest degree of colonization (76%) was found near the roots of Prosopis faveta (Mimosaceae). Roots of some other plants like Aeluropus lagopoides and Atriplex leucoclada were found in both conditions of colonized or non-colonized with AMF, meanwhile the roots of Tamarix aphylla, an economically important plant were found highly colonized (26%). Fourteen species of AMF were identified as below: Claroideoglomus etunicatum, Funneliformis geosporus, F. mosseae, Gigaspora albida, Glomus aggregatum, Gl. albidum, Gl. ambisporum, Gl. diaphanum, Gl. macrocarpum, Gl. microaggregatum, Paraglomus occultum, Racocetra fulgida, Rhizophagus fasciculatus and Rh. Manihotis. Glomus aggregatum (24.4%), Claroideoglomus etunicatum (22%) and Rhizophagus fasciculatus (19.5%) then Gigaspora albida (14.6%) and G. ambisporum (14.6%)had the most frequency of occurrence in the examined soil samples respectively.

Quercus persica and Pistacia mutica are two known and prevalent forest trees of Baneh and Marivan from Kurdistan province (W Iran). Thirty-five fungal isolates were obtained from 50 bark samples of Q. persica collected in Sept. and Mar. 2010–11. The aim of this study was to identify fungi associated with oak trees of Kurdistan province. Based on morphological features and authentic keys (Ellis 1976, Sivanesan 1987), 15 isolates were identified as Drechslera triseptata that is reported as a new taxon to the mycobiota of Iran.
