Identification and phylogenetic analysis of two newly recorded Hebeloma species (Basidiomycota) from Türkiye

Abstract

Hebeloma species are ectomycorrhizal fungi that are widely distributed in nature and grow in a wide variety of habitats. Hebeloma spp. are difficult to identify and distinguish due to high morphological similarity between species. In this study, two newly recorded Hebeloma (Fr.) P. Kumm. species (H. minus Bruchet and H. rostratum Beker, Vesterh. & U. Eberh.) from Türkiye were described and photographed. Specimens were identified using morphological and molecular methods. Phylogenies based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1-α) regions of the genome were constructed employing the Maximum-Likelihood method. In conclusion, a technique that combines morphological and molecular data provides a robust approach to assessing the taxonomic status of Hebeloma spp. Descriptions and photographs of the species are also presented.
