Abstract: The former checklists of lichen - forming and allied fungi of Japan were comp i led by Sato (1943, 1959 - 65), Kurokawa (2003), Harada et al. (2004), and Kurokawa & Kashiwadani (2006) that listed 1,639 accepted taxa . This current edition of checklist enumerates 1, 90 6 accepted taxa of lichen - forming and allied fungi of Japan and their synonyms reported in the references (until 31 December 2017) related to Japanese mycobiota. Information of e.g. websites and private self - publ ications that were not taxonomically authorized are not considered into this checklist. Among the accepted taxa in the current list, the l ichen - forming fungi are 1 , 80 1 taxa ( 3 89 genera 1, 7 6 4 species 10 subspecies 49 varieties 1 1 forms) and the allied fungi including lichenicolous, saprophytic and plant pathogenic fungi are 6 4 genera 10 5 species. It should be noted that endemic taxa of lichen - forming fungi are 33 6 taxa ( 11 2 genera 33 5 species 1 subspecies 2 2 varieties 6 forms ) and 307 for endemic species, 1 for endemic subspecies, 22 for endemic variety and 6 for endemic form among them. T hose of allied fungi are 10 species ( 10 genera and 10 species ) . The number of endemic taxa introduced by Kurokawa (2006) was more than 350 taxa (c. 22%) among 1602 taxa of lichen - forming fungi, and the number is now slightly reduced into 3 3 5 taxa (c. 19%) among 1 , 80 1 taxa. As pointed out by Kurokawa (2006), a number of crustose sp e cies are not necessary endemic to Japan and may be found in the adjacent areas such as China, Korea and Russia in the future. Although 26 7 taxa were added to the current list after Kurokawa & Kashiwadani (2006), some of them are needed further taxonomic researches because they were newly described or reported based only on reference information and no comparison with reliable specimens. Endemic taxa are marked with an asterisk (*), and lichenicolous, saprophytic or plant pathogenic fungi are marked with a plus symbol ( + ) in the following list. Accepted taxa (pr inted in bold face) and excluded names (in italic) are listed separately in alphabetical order under genera ex c ept autonyms . No new combination is made to avoid encumbering the nomenclature with possibly superfluous names. References were only cited when n ew cha n ges from Harada et al. (2004) and Kurokawa & Kashiwadani (2006) were made (the PDF of Kurokawa and Kashiwadani (2006) can be downlo a ded from http://www.kahaku.go.jp/research/publication/ monograph/download/33/monograph33.pdf ) . Japanese common names are shown in katakana after the scientific name of taxa when available. The recommended name and alias names in parenthesis are shown. We thank Drs A. Davydov, A. Frisch, K. H. Moon, T. Randlane, G. Thor, L. Yakovchenko, Mr. H. Masum oto , and Ms. M. Sugimoto for their valuable infomation and kind assistance in editing this manuscript.
