Callistosporium SINGER, A NEW GENUS RECORD FOR TURKISH MYCOBIOTA

Abstract

This study aims to describe and introduce a new record for the Turkish mycobiota. Based on the similar macro- and micromorphology, and high nuclear ribosomal large subunit sequence similarity, the mushroom was identified as Callistosporium olivascens (Boud.) Bon. According to the literature research, we found out that this finding is the first record of the genus Callistosporium in Turkey.
