Abstract
ABSTRACT Geastrum is a genus of gasteroid fungi characterized by a star-like basidiome and a bellows mechanism for releasing spores. The genus is represented by 41 species in the Brazilian northeast region. In the State of Bahia only seven species are known. The objective of this work is to describe the new occurrences of Geastrum for the State. Geastrum argentinum represents the first record for northeastern Brazil; G. brunneocapilatum, G. entomophilum, G. lloydianum and G. triplex represent the first record for Bahia State funga. Descriptions, photos of the species and checklist for northeastern Brazil are presented.
