Abstract

Members of the genus Leucoagaricus (Agaricaceae) grow in the temperate climatic zone of the world.
Only 10 species have been identified up to now in Turkey even though 238 Leucoagaricus species are listed in
Mycobank database. In this study, the taxonomic positions of four species, Leucoagaricus subvolvatus, L. barssii, L.
subcretaceus and L. leucothites,
are discussed by evaluating morphological and molecular evidences and L. subvolvatus is
approved as a new record for
Turkey mycobiota. Internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of each
studied species is sequenced to resolve phylogenetic relationship and microscopic and macroscopic features of new record are
described in detail.

Türkiye’de Bulunan Bazı Leucoagaricus Türlerinin Morfolojik ve Moleküler Teşhisleri ve Yeni Bir Kaydın Ortaya Çıkarılması

Abstract

Leucoagaricus (Agaricaceae)
cinsinin üyeleri, dünyanın ılıman iklim bölgesinde yetişirler. Mycobank veri tabanında
238 Leucoagaricus türü listelenmesine rağmen, Türkiye'de şu ana kadar
sadece 10 tür belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada cinse ait dört türün (Leucoagaricus
subvolvatus, L. barssii, L. subcretaceus ve L. leucothites)
taksonomik konumları, morfolojik ve moleküler kanıtlar değerlendirilerek
tartışılmış ve L. subvolvatus Türkiye mikobiyotası için yeni bir kayıt
olarak tanımlanmıştır. Her çalışılan türün iç Internal
transcribed spacer bölgesi (ITS) filogenetik ilişkileri çözmek için dizilenmiş ve
yeni kayıt türün mikroskobik ve makroskobik özellikleri ayrıntılı olarak
açıklanmıştır.
