Sumario:Atlantic Forest is an ecosystem historically managed without restrictions. Over the years, this situation led to a fragmentation of the forest environment with the consequent loss of habitats for all kinds of organisms in the region. The present work is a checklist of macrofungi found in a native forest in Oberá (Misiones, Argentina), where conservation and regeneration practices have been held since 2009 to recover its natural state. Sampling took place in different seasons for 3 years. 136 species have been identified, distributed in 13 orders, 32 families and 86 genera. The objective of the present work was to set a precedent of macrofungi diversity in the area. This will allow studying macrofungi ecological succession and their potential as bio-indicators of forest recovery.
