It is thought that the most prevalent and harmful plant pathogens are fungi. Fungal diseases cause significant harm to leaves, which are the site of food synthesis. As a result, they represent a major risk to biodiversity and global food security. The foliar fungal infections of Tehsil Khar and Tehsil Utman Khel in the Pakistani district of Bajaur, KP, were the subject of this investigation. A thorough investigation was conducted on seven distinct plant species because they exhibited foliar symptoms indicative of fungal disease. Alternaria solani, Erysiphe platani, Helicoceras celtidis, Leveilulla taurica, Phyllactinia moricola, Plasmopara viticola, Podosphaera xanthii, and Pseudocercospora platanigena were the eight fungal foliar pathogens that were isolated. Ampelomyces quisqualis was isolated from Erysiphe platani, a Platanus powdery mildew. All of the pathogens that have been found are new records for Pakistan, with the exception of Alternaria solani and P. platanigena. For the first time, Podosphaera xanthii has been found in Pakistan in Xanthium strumarium. The district now has new records for each of the aforementioned taxa. Redescription and illustration of a few taxa are done.
