First Record of Pterula subulata Fr. (Pterulaceae, Agaricales) from Türkiye

Abstract

Pterula subulata is reported here as a new record for the macrofungal biota of Türkiye. The specimen was collected from a mixed Betula-Populus woodland near Geçitli Village, Hakkâri Province, where basidiomata were observed gregariously on soil adjacent to tree roots. Identification was based on traditional macromorphological and microscopic characters. The Turkish collection is characterised by delicate, hair-like, repeatedly branched clavarioid to coralloid basidiomata; hyaline, thin-walled, oval to ellipsoid basidiospores measuring 5-8.5 x 3-5 µm; cylindrical-clavate basidia measuring 35-50 x 7-9 µm with four sterigmata; and the absence of cystidia. The diagnostic features of the collection agree with published descriptions of P. subulata. This record contributes to the knowledge of Pterulaceae in Türkiye and highlights the importance of continued field-based macrofungal surveys in eastern Anatolia.

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.
