Suillellus amygdalinus, a new species record for Turkey from Hakkari Province

Suillelus genus is represented by 20 species which are generally edible. In the present study, specimens of Suillelus genus (Suillellus amygdalinus) were collected from Hakkari province, in 2014 and recorded for the first from Turkey. Short depiction and the photographs of the determined species was given and discussed briefly.


Introduction
Suillellus Murrill is a genus of bolete fungi in the family Boletaceae.The actual name of the genus Boletus is divided into 5 different genera as a result of the molecular studies (Butyriboletus, Caloboletus, Neoboletus, Suillellus and Rubroboletus) (Zhao et al., 2014).The genus Suillellus (Boletaceae) was firstly identified by Murrill in 1909.Some researchers regarded it as the synonymy of Boletus.Based on the results of molecular phylogenetic studies, Vizzini and his colleagues (2014) moved it to Suillelus.
In Turkey, many significant studies have been carried on macrofungi especially in last three to four decades.Regarding the diversity of the country, it can easily be understand that there are losts of macrofungi which are waiting to be determined.Some Turkish mycologist have periodically presented the studies which were carried out on Turkish macrofungi as checklists.Latest checklists were prepared by Sesli and Denchev (2014) and Solak et al. (2015).Some studies were also carried out after the presentation of latest checklist.According to the checklists and the previous studies (Acar and Uzun, 2016;Akata et al., 2016;Demirel and et al., 2016;Kaya, 2016;Sesli et al., 2016;Acar and Uzun, 2017;Allı et al., 2017;Demirel et al., 2017;Uzun et al., 2017a;Uzun et al., 2017b;Acar et al., 2018;Işık and Türkekul, 2018;Kaya and Uzun, 2018;Sesli and Liimatainen, 2018;Uzun and Kaya, 2018;Uzun and Acar, 2018;Uzun et al., 2018a-b) 5 Suillellus species have been reported from Turkey.
This study aims to make a contribution to the mycobiota of Turkey.

Materials and Method
Mushroom samples wer collected from Hakkari (Yüksekova-Şemdinli) province in 2014.Macroscopic and ecological properties of the samples were recorded and they were photographed with a digital photograph machine (Canon EOS 60D camera).After the samples were transferred to the laboratory, they were dried and prepared as fungaryum materials.The identifiation of the samples were performed with the help of the relevant literature (Thiers, 1965;Bessette and et al., 2000a;Desjardin et al., 2015).The identifed samples are kept in the fungarium of Yüzüncü Yıl University, Science Faculty, Department of Biology.

Macroscopic and microscopic features:
Pileus 40-110 mm across, widely convex when mature, margin lobed or wavy, curling downward when young, surface dry, like mountain goat skin when young, then more or less hairy and slightly paler reddish-brown colored.Flesh reddish under cuticula, the other places are yellow and turn blue immediately when cut.Hymenophore with tubes.The tubes are flat near the stipe, and 10 to 15 mm, pores red or rusty-red when young, apricot red when ripened, becomes bluish when it starts to dry or when injured.Stipe 40-100 × 15-35 mm diam., equal or thickens towords the base, solid, surface dry, reddish on a yellowish background, with bluish spots, turn blue near pileus and turns blue when cut.Spores 11-16(19) × 5-7.7(9) µm, thick-walled, ellipsoid, somewhat spindle-shaped, smooth, with a large drop or smaller droplets.Basidia; 25-38 × 8-12 µm, clubshaped and contains a large number of intercellular spaces.Cystidia 40-60 × 9-13 µm (Figure 1).
