Contributions to the Geographical Expansion of Two Niaceae Members (Flagelloscypha minutissima and Merismodes anomala) in Türkiye

Abstract

During field studies carried out in Bingöl and Hakkâri provinces of the Eastern Anatolia Region, two cyphelloid macrofungi species, Flagelloscypha minutissima and Merismodes anomala, belonging to the family Niaceae, were identified based on morphological characteristics. These species are noteworthy due to their infrequent reports in Türkiye and the absence of detailed morphological or ecological records in the literature. F. minutissima was found to have developed on the decayed Populus branch, while M. anomala was found to have developed on the decayed Quercus branch. The identification of the species was based on a combination of macroscopic features and microscopic characters, including the basidium, basidiospores, marginal cells and hyphal system. A detailed morphological analysis was conducted, supported by descriptive measurements. Taxonomic positions were confirmed using online databases. The findings presented herein constitute novel localities for the mycobiota of Türkiye for both species, thereby providing original contributions regarding the ecological roles and biodiversity of small-sized Basidiomycota members growing on broad-leaved tree remains.

The works submitted to our journals are first judged grammatically. After this phase, articles are sent two reviewers. If necessary, the third reviewer is assessed. In the publication of works, a decision is made by evaluating the level of contribution to science and readers within the criteria specified in the writing rules. Reviewers are requested to submit their assessments within 30 days at the latest. The reviewers' evaluations and the answers to these evaluations are reviewed by the editor and it is decided whether the work will be published or not.
