Contributions to the Macromycota of Gaziantep Province
Öz
Aim of study: The study aims to determine the macrofungal biodiversity of Gaziantep province and to contribute to the mycobiota of Turkey.
Area of study: The study was carried out in Gaziantep province which is located in Southeastern Anatolian Region of Turkey. The study area takes place at the transition region of Mediterranean and Irano-Turanean phytogeographic regions and falls in C6 according to Davis’ grid square system.
Material and method: The fungal specimens were collected from different localities within the boundaries of Gaziantep province between 2009 and 2015. After they were photographed at their natural habitats, they were transferred to the fungarium and the descriptive data related to their macroscopy and microscopy were obtained. Then the samples were identified by comparing the obtained descriptive data with literature data.
Main results: Besides the taxa reported from the region before, 217 macrofungi species belonging to 129 genera, 63 families, 19 orders and 6 classes within Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were determined from Gaziantep.
Research highlights: The mycota of Turkey has not prepared yet. That is why biodiversity studies on the macromycota of Turkey is an important requirement to present the overall macrofungal diversity of the country.
