In the present study, fungal specimens collected from Yeşildere village in Uşak province, Türkiye were evaluated. The specimens underwent detailed examination through both mor-phological and DNA (nrITS rDNA region and TEF1a gene) sequence-based phylogenetic analysis. Based on the evaluation of micro- and macromorphological characteristics, and phylogenetic analyses, the specimen was identified as A. vidua Gasch, G. Moreno & P.-A. Moreau. This identification marks A. vidua as a new record for the Turkish Amanita section Phalloideae. The study described this newly recorded species, including specific details such as its location, habitat observations, geographical coordinates, collection date, and pho-tographs showcasing its macro and micromorphological features. Additionally, it also in-cludes illustrations of some microscopic structures of the species. The study is further en-riched with SEM images, offering a detailed view of the species characteristics, and the findings are briefly discussed.
Hymenoscyphus imberbis (Bull.) Dennis, H. vitigenus (De Not.) Dennis (Helotiaceae) and Gemmina gemmarum (Boud.) Raitv. (Pezizellaceae) species, collected from Bingöl and Van provinces, are given as new records for Türkiye. The identified samples are given with macroscopic and microscopic characters, photographs, collection localities and collector numbers

The present study reports macrofungi specimens collected from Şemdinli and Yüksekova districts (Hakkari) between 2014 and 2016. As a result of field and laboratory studies, 197 species were identified. Together with the previously reported six species, 203 species belonging to two division, 48 families and 97 genera were listed from the study area. Among them, 36 species belong to Ascomycota, and 167 to Basidiomycota.

In 2023, fungal specimens were collected from the Tınaztepe Campus of Dokuz Eylül University (İzmir-Türkiye). These samples underwent a comprehensive and meticulous evaluation involving morphological examination and phylogenetic analysis based on nrITS rDNA sequencing. The DEU AKATA & SAHIN 148 samples exhibited microscopic and macroscopic characteristics that closely matched those of Rhodocybe asyae, initially described by Sesli & Vizzini. The genetic sequence analysis revealed over 99% similarity with R. asyae Sesli & Vizzini. This report represents the second recorded occurrence of R. asyae in Türkiye and the third globally. The study documents the collection site, geographical coordinates, habitat observations, the collection date, etc. Furthermore, the research provides macroscopic photographs, microscopic illustrations of the specimens, and detailed discussion, demonstrating the reliability of the present findings.

Inocybe specimens were collected from Ankara University Beşevler 10. Yıl Campus, (Ankara, Türkiye) on October 19, 2022. As a result, the samples were identified as I. costinitii, a new record for Turkish Inocybe. This study presents a detailed description of this newly recorded species, covering aspects such as its location, observations of its habitat, geographical coordinates, the date of collection, and photographs that highlight its macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. Moreover, the study features the species' drawings and some of its microscopic traits. The study is enhanced by images obtained from a scanning electron microscope (SEM), briefly examining the spore features and discussed briefly.

In this study, Lasiobelonium specimen collected from Genç (Bingöl) district in 2021 is discussed. By the data obtained as a result of field and fungarium studies, it was identified as macro-micromorphological characters and recorded as a new record for Lasiobelonium members in Türkiye (Lasiobelonium lonicerae). In this text, the micro- and macromorphological characters of L. lonicerae are described and illustrated. In addition, the micro characters were illustrated by drawing to make them more distinct and clearer. The L. lonicerae studied in this study will contribute to the Ascomycota diversity of Türkiye and the distribution of the genus Lasiobelonium in the country.
