SUMMARYA brief history is presented of mycological collections in New Mexico. Isolation of water-molds from some bodies of water in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northern New Mexico and isolation of fungi from the desert soils and gypsum sands of the Tularosa Basin in southern New Mexico resulted in reports of 77 species of fungi. Included were 7 species of Saprolegniaceae from elevations exceeding 6700 ft, and 60 species of Fungi Imperfecti.
