Corticioids are a polyphyletic group of fungi with resupinate to effused basidiocarps and high ecological importance because the majority of their species are wood decomposers or ectomycorrhizal symbionts. In this work, we present the results of the survey for corticioid fungi in the Abies religiosa forests of “el Zarco”, Estado de México, Mexico. During the rainy seasons from 2011 to 2013 we collected all sporomes with resupinate habit growing on branches, trunks, rocks, and soil surface. We describe 17 species of which 6 are new registers for Mexico: Erythricium hypnophilum, Ginnsia viticola, Peniophora versicolor, Resinicium furfuraceum, Scotomyces subviolaceus, and Rhizoctonia fusispora. Seven species are new registers for the Estado de Mexico State: Amphinema byssoides, Asterostroma cervicolor, Athelia decipiens, Coniophora arida, Eonema pyriforme, Hyphodontia arguta, and Phlebia lacteola. This is the first study dealing with corticioid fungi associated to A. religiosa.
