New additions to Turkish Helotiales and Orbiliales

Abstract

Aim of study: Though hundreds of studies were conducted on the biodiversity of Turkish fungi, the mycobiota has not been determined yet. Probably thousands of researches are required to determine the overall mycobiota of Turkey. This study were also carried out upon this purpose and aims to make a contribution to the mycobiota of Turkey by adding new genera and species records. Area of study: This study was carried out within the boundaries of İslahiye, Nurdağı and Şehitkamil districts of Gaziantep province. Material and Methods: The macrofungi samples were collected from İslahiye, Nurdağı and Şehitkamil districts in the years 2014 and 2015. After obtaining required field data, they were transferred to the fungarium and investigated in terms of macroscopy and microscopy. Then they were identified with the help of relevant literature. Main results: Five ascomycetous fungi species; Bisporella sulfurina (Quél.) S.E. Carp. (Helotiaceae Rehm), Lachnum fuscescens (Pers.) P. Karst. (Lachnaceae Raitv.), Cyclaneusma niveum (Pers.

A New Addition to Turkish Helotiaceae

“…The macrofungal diversity studies carried out until 2014, presents 215 Turkish ascomycetous macrofungi taxa [4]. This number has been increasing by the studies made in recent years such as: [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20].…”

A New Mycena Record for the Mycobiota of Turkey

“…P. Kumm. Tracing the current checklists (Sesli and Denchev, 2014;Solak et al, 2015) and the latest macrofungal studies (Akata et al, 2016;Denğiz and Demirel, 2016;Kaya et al, 2016;Öztürk et al, 2016;Sesli et al, 2016;Taşkın et al, 2016;Uzun and Acar, 2016;Kaya et al, 2017;Uzun and Kaya, 2017;Uzun et al, 2017a;2017b, 2017c, it was founded that the taxon has not been recorded from Turkey before.…”
