Calocybe Persicolor, A New Record for the Turkish Mycota

Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify fungal samples from Ankara (Turkey). Identification of the samples was made according to conventional and molecular methods (ITS region of the rDNA). Based on the high sequence similarity of the new record (hereafter will be referred to as 'Ank Akata & Altuntas 166') with Calocybe persicolor (Fr.) Singer, the relevant agaric is considered to be C. persicolor. This result is also supported by the morphological data and proves the presence and distribution of this species in Turkey.
