Brunnipila Calyculiformis (Schumach.) Baral: a Novel Record for Türkiye

Abstract

The research subject of this study is a specimen of Brunnipila collected from the Biga (Çanakkale) district in 2024. The specimen, which is characterised by outward facing brown hairs and densely septate hairs with crystals on top, was identified as B. calyculiformis (Schumach.) Baral, as a new record for members of the Ascomycota in Türkiye, based on morphological characters in accordance with the data obtained from field studies and laboratory analyses. In this manuscript the macro- and micromorphological characteristics of the new record were described and illustrated. This new record will contribute to the macrofungal diversity of Türkiye and the distribution of the genus Brunnipila
