Anahtar Sözcükler: Makrofunguslar, Taksonomi, Denizli, Türkiye Introduction Many taxonomic studies of the macrofungal flora of Turkey have been carried out and many others remain in progress. The studies carried out on macrofungi species between 1932 and 2004 have been reviewed, and as a result it was determined that there are approximately 1600 documented macrofungi species in Turkey (Sesli & Denchev, 2005). This research was extracted from Sacit Köse’s MSc thesis, part of which (some wood decaying mushrooms and some edible mushrooms) was presented at the 1st International Symposium on Protection of the Natural Environment and Ehrami Karaçam (Gezer & Köse, 1999; Köse & Gezer, 1999). The aim of our study was to document the macrofungi species in the research area and thus provide additional data on the macrofungal flora of Turkey. Bekilli is a town in the province of Denizli and is surrounded by Çal to the south, Karahall› (Uflak) to
