A New Lichenicolous Fungus Record From The Turkey, Tremella macrobasidiata (Basidiomycota, Tremellales)

Abstract

Despite the recent increase in studies on lichenicolous fungi in Turkey, there is still no checklist. A key to lichenicolous fungus prepared by Halıcı (2008) were published 118 taxa from the Turkey. So far, the numbers of lichenicol fungi known in Turkey is 193. Generally, lichenicol Ascomycota and mitosporic fungi records are reported, whereas lichenicol Basidiomycota recording is rare. Tremella macrobasidiata is reported on Lecanora chlarotera from Turkey for the first time. The morphological, anatomical and ecological characteristics of the species are given. In addition, a phylogenetic tree was constructed by comparing the sequence data of the ITS region of closely related species.

Türkiye'den Yeni Bir Likenikol Mantar Kaydı, Tremella macrobasidiata (Basidiomycota, Tremellales)

Abstract

Türkiye'de likenikol mantarlar üzerine yapılan çalışmalar son yıllarda artmasına rağmen hala bir kontrol listesi mevcut değildir. Halıcı (2008) tarafından hazırlanan likenikol fungus anahtarında Türkiye'den 118 takson yayınlanmıştır. Şu ana kadar Türkiye'den bilinen likenikol mantar sayısı 193'tür. Genellikle likenikol Ascomycota ve mitosporik fungus kayıtları bildirilirken, likenikol Basidiomycota kaydı nadirdir. Tremella macrobasidiata, ilk kez Türkiye'den Lecanora chlarotera üzerinden bildirilmiştir. Türün morfolojik, anatomik ve ekolojik özellikleri verilmiştir. Buna ek olarak, yakın ilişkili türlerin ITS bölgelerine ait dizi analizleri ile karşılaştırılarak bir filogenetik ağaç oluşturulmuştur.
