Amanita Vidua: a New Record for Turkish Amanita Section Phalloideae Based on Morphological and Molecular Data
(Trakya Univ Balkan Yerlesesi Enstituler Binasi, 2024) Akata, Ilgaz; Kumru, Eda; Sahin, Ergin; Acar, Ismail; Kaya, Ertugrul
In the present study, fungal specimens collected from Ye & scedil;ildere village in U & scedil;ak province, T & uuml;rkiye were evaluated. The specimens underwent detailed examination through both morphological and DNA (nrITS rDNA region and TEF1a gene) sequence -based phylogenetic analysis. Based on the evaluation of micro- and macromorphological characteristics, and phylogenetic analyses, the specimen was identified as A. vidua Gasch, G. Moreno & P. A. Moreau. This identification marks A. vidua as a new record for the Turkish Amanita section Phalloideae. The study described this newly recorded species, including specific details such as its location, habitat observations, geographical coordinates, collection date, and photographs showcasing its macro and micromorphological features. Additionally, it also includes illustrations of some microscopic structures of the species. The study is further enriched with SEM images, offering a detailed view of the species characteristics, and the findings are briefly discussed.
Initial Report of Inocybe Costinitii in Türkiye With Morphological and Molecular Data
(Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam Univ Rektorlugu, 2024) Akata, Ilgaz; Edis, Gulce; Kumru, Eda; Acar, Ismail; Sahin, Ergin
Inocybe specimens were collected from Ankara University Be & scedil;evler 10. Y & imath;l Campus, (Ankara, T & uuml;rkiye) on October 19, 2022. As a result, the samples were identified as I. costinitii, a new record for Turkish Inocybe. This study presents a detailed description of this newly recorded species, covering aspects such as its location, observations of its habitat, geographical coordinates, the date of collection, and photographs that highlight its macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. Moreover, the study features the species' drawings and some of its microscopic traits. The study is enhanced by images obtained from a scanning electron microscope (SEM), briefly examining the spore features and discussed briefly.
Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Terfezia Claveryi and Its Distribution in Türkiye
(Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam Univ Rektorlugu, 2025) Akata, Ilgaz; Kumru, Eda; Edis, Guelce; Ozbey, Beste Gizem; Acar, Ismail; Sahin, Ergin
The samples were collected from Ankara, Gaziantep, Konya, Ni & gbreve;de, and & Scedil;anl & imath;urfa (T & uuml;rkiye), between 2020 and 2023. Morphological analyses and nrITS rDNA sequence-based phylogenetic methods were used to examine the samples. Twenty-one specimens displayed morphological features consistent with Terfezia claveryi Chatin at both macro and micro levels. Genetic analysis revealed over 99% sequence similarity with this species. Detailed documentation included habitat descriptions, geographical coordinates, collection dates, and photographic records of macroscopic and microscopic structures. These findings contribute valuable insights into the distribution and taxonomy of T. claveryi in T & uuml;rkiye.
Some Macrofungi Determined in Semdinli and Yuksekova Districts (hakkari-Turkey)
(Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam Univ Rektorlugu, 2020) Acar, Ismail; Uzun, Yusuf; Akata, Ilgaz
The present study reports macrofungi specimens collected from Semdinli and Yuksekova districts (Hakkari) between 2014 and 2016. As a result of field and laboratory studies, 197 species were identified. Together with the previously reported six species, 203 species belonging to two division, 48 families and 97 genera were listed from the study area. Among them, 36 species belong to Ascomycota, and 167 to Basidiomycota.
Taxonomic Studies on Rhodocybe Asyae Specimens Discovered in a New Location
(Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam Univ Rektorlugu, 2024) Akata, Ilgaz; Edis, Gulce; Kumru, Eda; Acar, Ismail; Sahin, Ergin
In 2023, fungal specimens were collected from the T & imath;naztepe Campus underwent a comprehensive and meticulous evaluation involving morphological examination and phylogenetic analysis based on nrITS rDNA sequencing. The DEU AKATA & SAHIN 148 samples exhibited microscopic and macroscopic characteristics that closely matched those of Rhodocybe asyae, initially described by Sesli & Vizzini. The genetic sequence analysis revealed over 99% similarity with R. asyae Sesli & Vizzini. This report represents the second recorded occurrence of R. asyae in T & uuml;rkiye and the third globally. The study documents the collection site, geographical coordinates, research provides macroscopic photographs, microscopic illustrations of the specimens, and detailed discussion, demonstrating the reliability of the present findings.
Two Newly Reported Agaricales Species From Türkiye With Morphological and Molecular Data
(Kastamonu Univ, 2024) Akata, Ilgaz; Kumru, Eda; Edis, Gulce; Acar, Ismail; Sahin, Ergin
Aim of study: The main aim of this study is to contribute to the fungal diversity of T & uuml;rkiye by presenting two newly documented species within the order of Agaricales. Area of study: The samples of the newly reported species were collected under pine trees in Ankara & Uuml;niversitesi Be & scedil;evler 10. Y & imath;l Campus, Ankara, and in fir forest at At Plateau, located 10 km from Bolu city center. Material and method: The samples underwent detailed analysis, including morphological evaluation and DNA sequencing of the nrITS rDNA region and the TEF1 alpha gene. This process involves examining both microscopic and macroscopic characteristics to perform phylogenetic analysis. Main results: Fieldwork and laboratory analysis have led to the first report of the species Agaricus nevoi Wasser and Hygrophorus abieticola Krieglst. ex Gr & ouml;ger & Bresinsky, both belonging to the order Agaricales, from T & uuml;rkiye. Research highlights: The current study introduces a newly recorded Agaricales species in T & uuml;rkiye, bringing the total number of known genera Agaricus and Hygrophorus species in T & uuml;rkiye to 37 and 31, respectively.
