Three edible hypogeous fungi were collected and identified. There were Tirmania nivea (Desf. ex Fr. ) Trappe, Tirmania pinoyi (Maire) Malecon, and Terfezia boudieri Chatin. They are recorded, illustrated and described for the first time in Saudi Arabia. Their sites of occurrence, the ecological and biological factors affecting their distribution are discussed.
