A New Lichenicolous Fungus Record From The Turkey, <em>Tremella macrobasidiata</em> (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.

A New Lichenicolous Fungus Record from The Çamlik National Park (Yozgat, Turkey), Tremella candelariellae (Basidiomycota, Tremellales)

“…Millanes et al, 2012 studied the phylogenetic position of the genus and stated that fifty-one Tremella species have been identified. Two lichenicolous Tremella species were reported from Turkey (Halici, 2015;Kocakaya et al, 2018). In this study, morphological, anatomical, ecological and phylogenetic features of the species were given.…”
