Fungal specimens were collected in Trabzon Province in 2010 and 2012. Taxonomical studies were performed in our laboratory and in the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. According to the results, Entoloma noordeloosi Hauskn., Inocybe lutescens Velen., and Tricholoma saponaceum var. squamosum (Cooke) Rea are recorded for the first time for the Turkish Mycota. The new records are illustrated, briefly described, and discussed. | Turkish Journal of Botany Turk J Bot (2013) 37: 414-417 © TÜBİTAK doi: Research Note New fungal records for the Turkish Mycota from Trabzon 1, 2 Ertuğrul SESLİ *, Stephan HELFER Department of Biology Education, Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon, Turkey 2 Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, 20A Inverleith Row, Edinburgh, EH3 5LR Scotland, UK 1 Received: Accepted: Published Online: Printed: Abstract: Fungal specimens were collected in Trabzon Province in 2010 and 2012.

Their basidiomata are crepidotoid, omphalinoid, collybioid, mycenoid, or tricholomatoid. Most of them are saprobic and some are mycorrhizal. They have pink lamellae, angular spores, and pink spore prints (Knudsen & Vesterholt, 2008). According to Sesli and Denchev (2008), the most common Entoloma in Turkey is E. sinuatum (Bull.) . and 38 species have been recorded to date. Inocybe (Fr.) Fr. is also a large, complex genus of ectomycorrhizal fungi seen on soil from early spring to autumn. The fruiting bodies of this group are mycenoid, colybioid, or tricholomatoid (Knudsen & Vesterholt, 2008). According to Sesli and Denchev (2008), it is common in Turkey and about 70 species were recorded before this study. This genus was originally placed in the family Cortinariaceae; however, phylogenetic analyses suggest a new family, Inocybaceae (Matheny, 2005). Inocybe species are not considered suitable for consumption, .
