Abstract

During the course of study soil micro fungi from grapevine plantations in Iraq, two species of Chaetomium were reported for the first time in Iraq. These include C.longicolleum and C.madrasense. Brief description and photographic plates are provided for the newly recorded species. A checklist that included 21 species of chaetomium were previously reported from various habitats in Iraq has been provided.
