Nine species of lichenicolous fungi are reported from various provinces of Turkey. Five species of these (Endococcus janae, Lichenochora aprica, Pronectria xanthoriae, Sarcopyrenia cylindrospora, and Zwackhiomyces cervinae) are reported for the first time from Turkey. All these taxa, except Zwackhiomyces cervinae, are also new to Asia. | Research Note Turk J Bot 33 (2009) 389-392 © TÜBİTAK doi: Notes on some lichenicolous fungi species from Turkey II Mehmet Gökhan HALICI1,*, Mehmet CANDAN2, Ayşen ÖZDEMİR TÜRK2 1 University of Erciyes, Faculty of Arts & Science, Department of Biology, 38039 Kayseri - TURKEY 2University of Anadolu, Faculty of Science, Department of Biology, 26470 Eskişehir - TURKEY Received: Accepted: Abstract: Nine species of lichenicolous fungi are reported from various provinces of Turkey. Five species of these (Endococcus janae, Lichenochora aprica, Pronectria xanthoriae, Sarcopyrenia cylindrospora, and Zwackhiomyces cervinae) are reported for the first time from Turkey. All these taxa, except Zwackhiomyces cervinae, are also new to Asia. Comments on their habitats and substrata and a short diagnosis are provided for each new taxon new to Turkey. Key words: Ascomycota, lichenicolus fungi, Coelomycetes Türkiye’den bazı likenikol fungus türleri üzerine notlar II Özet: Türkiye’nin çeşitli illerinden 9 likenikol fungus türü rapor edilmiştir. Bu türlerden beş tanesi (Endococcus janae, Lichenochora aprica, Pronectria xanthoriae, Sarcopyrenia cylindrospora, Zwackhiomyces cervinae) Türkiye’den ilk kez rapor edilmektedir. Zwackhiomyces cervinae hariç hepsi aynı zamanda Asya için de yeni kayıt durumundadır. Türkiye için yeni kayıt durumunda olan her taksonun kısa birer betimlemesi ve habitat, substratları hakkında yorumlar verilmiştir. Anahtar sözcükler: Ascomycota, likenikol funguslar, Coelomycetes Introduction Attention paid to the lichenicolous fungi of Turkey increased after Hafellner & John (2006) compiled information on 63 taxa of lichenicolous fungi in Turkey. Halıcı (2008a) recently provided a key to 117 infrageneric taxa of lichenicolous Ascomycota including mitosporic fungi as well as their distribution in Turkey. After this key was published, some more additions have been reported (Candan & Halıcı, 2008; Halıcı, 2008b, 2008c; .
