Aim of study: This manuscript aims to contribute to Türkiye's mycobiota by presenting a member of Pyronemataceae whose taxonomic position has been documented by morphological and molecular data.
Area of study: The fungal specimens of the study were collected in the coniferous forest of Genç (Bingöl).
Material and method: The samples were subjected to comprehensive analysis, incorporating morphological evaluation and DNA sequencing of the nrITS region. This process encompassed the examination of both micro- and macromorphological characters to perform phylogenetic analysis.
Main results: The field and two-stage (morphological/phylogenetic) laboratory investigations have revealed that Geopora foliacea (Schaeff.) S. Ahmad, belonging to the family Pyronemataceae, is reported from Türkiye for the first time.
Research highlights: This study introduces ectomycorrhizal Geopora foliacea, recorded for the first time in Türkiye. This adds to the previously described genus Geopora in Türkiye and increases the number of species to seven.

Çalışmanın amacı: Bu metnin asıl amacı morfolojik ve moleküler verilerle taksonomik pozisyonu belgelenmiş bir Pyronemataceae üyesi sunarak, Türkiye mikobiotasına katkı sağlamaktır.
Çalışma alanı: Bu çalışmaya ait mantar örnekleri materyalleri Genç (Bingöl) konifer ormanında toplanmıştır.
Materyal ve yöntem: Örnekler, morfolojik değerlendirme ve nrITS bölgesi DNA dizilimi kullanılarak detaylı incelenmiştir. Bu süreç, filogenetik analiz gerçekleştirmek için mikro- ve makromorfolojik karakterlerin incelenmesini içermektedir.
Temel sonuçlar: Arazi ve iki aşamalı (morfolojik/filogenetik) gerçekleştirilen laboratuvar incelemeleri sonucunda Pyronemataceae familyasına ait Geopora foliacea (Schaeff.) S. Ahmad Türkiye’den ilk kez rapor edilmiştir.
Araştırma vurguları: Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de ilk kez kaydedilen ektomikorizal Geopora foliacea’yi tanıtmakta ve Türkiye’de daha önce tanımlanmış Geopora cinsine katkı sağlayarak tür sayısını yedi’ye çıkarmaktadır.
