Explorations in the mountains of Nuevo León, Coahuila, Durango, and Tamaulipas from 1980 to 1985 yielded 24 species of hypogeous fungi, one being Rhizopogon guzmanii sp. nov. and 17 being first reports from México. Twelve genera are represented: Glomus (Zygomycotina); Elaphomyces, Genea, Hydnobolites, Pachyphloeus, and Tuber (Ascomycotina); Gautieria, Hymenogaster, Leucogaster, Melanogaster, Octavianina, and Rhizopogon (Basidiomycotina).
