Abstract
Mushrooms are eukaryotic andfilamentous fungi oftencomposed of hyphae which collectively form a special structure namely mycelium. Mostly their mycelia are buried in the soil, tissue of a rottingtree trunk, on wood or any other nurturing substrates. They are heterotrophic, cosmopolitan organisms being specific in their ecological and nutritional requirements.Pisolithustinctorius is a Basidiomycotous fungus belonging to the family Sclerodermataceae of the order Sclerodermatales. The genus is branded by a fruiting body of different sizes and shapes.Current study is an attempt to report Pisolithustinctorius(Locally known as BeeshKhaf) from different localities of district Khuzdar, Balochistan, Pakistan. To our knowledge this is the first ever reported mushroom from Balochistan, Pakistan. The descriptive biology of the speciesis discussed in this paper. Additionally water content, pH and texture of soil and mushroom collectionarea were also determined. Key Words;Khuzdar, Mushrooms, Pisolithustinctorius
