New provincial record and habitat characterization of the endangered Morel Morchella steppicola Zerova (Ascomycota) in Çankırı, Turkey

Öz

Background and Aims Thirty species within the genus Morchella have been documented in Türkiye. This study reports the fourth national record of Morchella steppicola Zerova, a species classified as Endangered (EN) on the global Red List, and the first occurrence from Çankırı province. Additionally, the study aims to characterize the fundamental habitat features associated with this species. Methods Specimens were collected during field surveys conducted in Çankırı province between 6 and 14 April 2024. Identification was performed using both macroscopic and microscopic features, supplemented by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) imaging, as well as stereo and light microscopy. Soil samples from the collection sites were analysed for basic physical (texture) and chemical properties, such as texture, and chemical properties, including pH, CaCO₃, soil organic matter (SOM), electrical conductivity (EC), total salt, and total nitrogen content. Results The specimens were identified as M. steppicola and this is the first record of the species in Çankırı province. In Türkiye, this species was previously known only from Afyonkarahisar, Kırşehir, and Edirne provinces. Soil analyses indicated the following properties: clay 59%, sand 23%, silt 18%; pH 7.55 (slightly alkaline); CaCO₃ 32.25% (very calcareous); organic matter 4.65%; EC 0.083 dS/m; total salt 0.04%; and total nitrogen 0.23%. The collection sites were situated at an elevation of approximately 948 meters. Conclusions The presence of M. steppicola in Çankırı province is confirmed for the first time. Given the species’ rarity and the distinctive characteristics of its habitat, continued monitoring of comparable steppe and meadow ecosystems is recommended, along with conservation measures for the species and its environment.
