Abstract

Aim of study: This research seeks to deepen our understanding of Turkish mycobiota by incorporating a newly identified species from Hysterangiales. Area of study: The area is approximately 4 kilometres from the centre of Demirk & ouml;y in K & imath;rklareli and is predominantly covered with beech trees. Material and method: The fungal samples were rigorously examined through morphological evaluation and DNA sequencing of the nrITS rDNA region and TEF1a gene, incorporating microscopic and macroscopic features for phylogenetic analysis. Main results: Following fieldwork and laboratory research, the species Statesia pompholyx belonging to the order Hysterangiales was identified and recorded for the first time in T & uuml;rkiye. Research highlights: This study presents a newly reported species of hypogeous fungi within the mycobiota of T & uuml;rkiye and identifies S. pompholyx as the second officially documented species within the Turkish Statesia genus.
