Abstract
The present paper deals with the identification of six species of lichenized fungi as new distributional record to India collected from Similipal Biosphere Reserve, Odisha. The species include Anisomeridium consimile, A. truncatum, Graphis litoralis, G. neoelongata, Pyrenula rubrojavanica, and Trypethelium luteolucidum. A brief morpho-taxonomic description of each species is described and illustrated.
