Two basidiomycetous taxa, Conocybe velutipes (Velen.) Hauskn. & Svrček and Entoloma ameides (Berk. & Broome) Sacc, were collected from Muradiye district of Van province and reported for the first time from Turkey. The macroscopic and microscopic features of the species were described briefly and the photographs related to their macro and micromorphologies were provided.
The study was based on macrofungi samples collected from the region within the boundaries of Muradiye district of Van province in 2014 and 2015. As a result of field and laboratory studies 86 macrofungi species belonging to 50 genera, 25 families, seven orders and three classes within the divisions Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were determined. The determined taxa are listed together with their habitats, substrates, collection locality, geographic coordinates and personel voucher numbers. One of them, Melanophyllum haematospermum (Bull.: Fr.) Kreisel, is a new record for Turkey as the first member of the genus Melanophyllum Velen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
