New Additions to Turkish Gasteroid Fungi
Abstract
Three gasteroid fungi species "Gautieria morchelliformis Vittad., Hysterangium stoloniferum Tul. & C. Tul. and Gymnomyces mistiformis (Mattir.) T. Lebel & Trappe" were reported for the first time from Turkey. Short descriptions, ecology, distribution and photographs of fruitbodies and micrographs of spores were given in the text. The gasteroid fungi are polyphyletic group of fungi which belong to division Basidiomycota. Macro and micro morphological features as well as the development, maturation and dispersal of spores are characteristic properties of this group. Although they represent a small part of the total number of the divison members, gasteroid fungi contain a large range of morphological diversity. Unlike most Basidiomycota members, gasteroid fungi are angiocarps.
