Polypores (Agaricomyctes, Polyporales), are characterized by perennial to rarely annual, effused-rflexed to pileate, woody basidiocarps; smooth to scrupose abhymenial surface; poroid hymenial surface with smaller, angular to round pores; 2-4 spored basidia and smooth, inamyloid to amyloid basidiospores. In the present paper an account of ten taxa Dichomitus affixus (Corner) T. Hatt., D. compestris (Quél.) Domanski & Orlicz, Donkiopora expansa (Desm.) Kotl. & Pouzar, Ganoderma ungulatum J.D. Zhao & X.Q. Zhang, Perenniporia adnata Corner, Pilatoporus bondartsevae (Spirin) Spirin, Polyporus efbulatus (A.M. Ainsw. & Ryvarden) Melo & Ryvarden, Sistotrema alboluteum (Bourdot & Galzin), Tyromyces amazonicus and Trichaptum perrottetii (Lév.) Ryvarden) comprising 9 genera, 5 families and 3 orders, of Polyporales based on the collections made from different localities of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir during the monsoon months of the years 2016-19 has been given. All the ten species are being reported for the first time from the India. It is worth to mention that genus Pilatoporus has been recorded first time from India.
