The present study reports on macrofungi species collected from 2003 to 2012 in Pozantı. In the field and during laboratory studies, 157 taxa belonging to 2 divisions and 51 families were identified. Among them, 8 families and 12 taxa belong to Ascomycota and 43 families and 145 taxa belong to Basidiomycota. | Turkish Journal of Botany Turk J Bot (2016) 40: 209-217 © TÜBİTAK doi: Research Article New macrofungi records from Turkey and macrofungal diversity of Pozantı-Adana 1, 2 Hasan Hüseyin DOĞAN *, Fevzi KURT Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Selçuk University, Konya, Turkey 2 Ayhan Şahenk Technical and Vocational High School, Eyyubiye, Şanlıurfa, Turkey 1 Received: Accepted/Published Online: Final Version: Abstract: The present study reports on macrofungi species collected from 2003 to 2012 in Pozantı. In the field and during laboratory studies, 157 taxa belonging to 2 divisions and 51 families were identified. Among them, 8 families and 12 taxa belong to Ascomycota, and 43 families and 145 taxa belong to Basidiomycota. Moreover, 10 taxa—Dumontinia tuberosa, Lycoperdon lambinonii, Conocybe mesospora, Pholiotina striipes, Hebeloma sordidum, Antrodia ramentacea, Leucogyrophana romellii, Diplomitoporus flavescens, Alutaceodontia alutacea, and Tulasnella violea—were found in the Turkish mycobiota for the first time. Key words: Pozantı, macrofungi, new records, Turkey 1. Introduction Despite the high level of macrofungal diversity, the first fungal systematic studies were started in the 1930s and focused on only wood-rotting fungi in Turkey (Doğan et al., 2005). After the 1980s, researchers were more focused on regional fungal diversity studies and started to get more results about the distribution of macrofungi in Turkey. After these studies, the number of the species was raised dramatically by means of the new fungal records published in different studies, and according to the literature there are 2158 taxa recorded for the Turkish mycobiota (Sesli and Denchev, 2008). Meanwhile, the first contribution as a new species (sp. nov.) for Turkey was Tricholoma anatolicum & Intini (Intini et al., 2003), followed by Marasmius castaneophilus Işıloğlu, Allı, .
