In this context, a literature review was conducted to gather information about the structure of fungi, their habitats, collection and identification methods, as well as the mushroom species that have been found to date both throughout Türkiye and within the borders of Trabzon province. While theoretical research was ongoing, field studies were also organized. Mushroom collection activities were carried out during rainy seasons in forested and grassland areas within Trabzon province. The detected mushrooms were first assigned a collection number and photographed. The coordinates of the collection site, surrounding trees, and the main morphological features of the specimens were recorded in a field notebook. A few representative specimens reflecting all characteristics of the species were placed in paper bags and brought to the laboratory. After obtaining spore prints, the samples were dried in an electric dryer, kept in a deep freezer at -40°C for one week, and finally labeled to become fungarium material. Sections from the stipe, cap, and gills were taken and examined under a research microscope. The obtained data were compared with relevant literature to identify the fungi. As a result of comparing the findings with the List of Fungi of Turkey (Mycota of Türkiye), it was determined that three of the species were new records for the country. Specimens of these three species were subjected to more detailed macroscopic and microscopic studies at the Mycology Laboratory of Trabzon University, their cellular structures were photographed, and detailed descriptions were made. Dried samples from the study are preserved as evidence. For future researchers, it is recommended to investigate whether these new records are also distributed in other regions, to determine their biochemical structures, and to assess their potential for economic use.}, number={2}, publisher={Abdullah KAYA}
