Two new Helotiales records for the mycobiota of Türkiye

Abstract

Two ascomycete taxa, Chloroscypha alutipes (W. Phillips) Dennis (Gelatinodiscaceae) and Rutstroemia bolaris (Batsch) Rehm (Rutstroemiaceae), belonging to the order Helotiales were reported as new records for the mycobiota of Türkiye. The former represent the first record of the genus Chloroscypha Seaver in Türkiye, while the latter constitutes the fifth record of Rutstroemia P. Karst. in the country. A brief description of each species is provided, along with the photographs illustrating their macroscopic and microscopic features
