Inocybe Tarda Kuhner: A New Record for the Turkish Mycota

Abstract

In this study, basidiocarps of Inocybe tarda were collected for the first time from Turkey and are presented together with macroscopic and microscopic structures, related photos and a brief discussion. The Turkish specimen is distinguished from related species by its pale reddish brown or chestnut color cap, almond- shaped, 8-12 x 5-6 mu m basidiospores and spindle-shaped or swollen cylindrical, 50-80 x 12-21 mu m cystidia.
