A macrofungus taxon that is commonly eaten by the folk in Central Anatolia but never reported from Türkiye: Agaricus pequinii (Boud.) Konrad & Maubl.

Abstract

Macrofungi growing in nature are grouped as edible, inedible and poisonous. There are about 300 edible nature mushroom species in Türkiye. As in the world, macrofungi are one of the important food sources in terms of closing the food deficit in our country. Agaricus gennadii var. microsporus (Bohus) Wasser is a rare and very edible mushroom with a mild taste that grows mainly on forest soils and on meadows. Although this taxon is very common in the meadows of Kayseri, located in central Anatolia (Türkiye) and frequently collected and eaten by the folk between October and the end of December, it was never reported in the checklists of Türkiye. In this study, Agaricus gennadii var. microsporus was studied in terms of morphological, anatomical and molecular aspects and added to the fungal checklist of Türkiye.

Orta Anadolu'da halk tarafından yaygın olarak yenilebilen ancak Türkiye'den hiç bildirilmemiş bir makrofungus taksonu: Agaricus gennadii var. microsporus (Bohus) Wasser

Abstract

Doğada yetişen makrofunguslar yenilebilir, yenilemeyen ve zehirli olarak gruplandırılır. Türkiye'de 300'e yakın yenilebilir doğal mantar türü bulunmaktadır. Makrofunguslar dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de besin açığının kapatılması açısından önemli besin kaynaklarından biridir. Agaricus gennadii var. microsporus (Bohus) Wasser, ağırlıklı olarak orman topraklarında ve çayırlarda yetişen, hafif bir tada sahip, nadir ve çok yenilebilir bir mantardır. Bu takson, İç Anadolu'da (Türkiye) yer alan Kayseri'nin çayırlarında çok yaygın olmasına ve Ekim ile Aralık sonu arasında halk tarafından sıklıkla toplanıp yenmesine rağmen, Türkiye kontrol listelerinde hiç bildirilmemiştir. Bu çalışmada, Agaricus gennadii var. microsporus morfolojik, anatomik ve moleküler yönden incelendi ve Türkiye mantar kontrol listesine eklendi.
