The current study was conducted based on a Battarrea sample obtained from Muğla province (Turkey). The sample was identified based on both conventional methods and ITS rDNA region-based molecular phylogeny. By taking into account the high sequence similarity between the sample (ANK Akata & Altuntaş 690) and Battarrea phalloides the relevant specime...

Makromantarlar Ascomycota ve Basidiomycota bölümlerinde yer alan ve çıplak gözle ayırt edilebilen makroskobik mantarları içermektedirler. Makromantarlar yenir, yenmez ve zehirli olmak üzere kabaca üç grup altında toplanır. Yenmez özellikteki mantarlar zehirli etki göstermez ancak bu türler sert yapısı, kokusu ve tadı nedeniyle tercih edilmezler. Ze...

Yeryüzünde yaşayan en eski kara bitkileri olan briyofitler evrimsel açıdan algler, mantarlar ve likenlere göre daha gelişmiş, eğreltiler ve tohumlu bitkilere göre ise daha ilkel yapıya sahiptirler. Yaşamlarını devam ettirebilecekleri düzeyde suyun ve nemin olduğu tropikal bölgelerden ılıman bölgelere, çöllerden kutuplara kadar hemen hemen dünya üze...

In this study, antioxidant, oxidant, antimicrobial activity and heavy metal contents of Morchella esculenta (L.) Pers. mushroom collected from Konya (Turkey) province were determined. Antioxidant and oxidant values were determined by using Rel Assay TAS and TOS kits. Element contents were determined by AAS (atomic absorption spectroscopy). Antimicr...

The present study is based on moss specimens collected from several urban habitats in Ankara University Beşevler 10. Yıl Campus in the year 2019. As a result of identifications of 94 bryophyte specimens collected from the campus area, a total of 28 species belonging to 7 families and 17 genera were determined. Six of them are new record for B7 grid...

The current study was conducted based on Mycenastrum samples collected from Muğla province (Turkey) on September 12, 2019. The samples were identified based on both conventional methods and ITS rDNA region-based molecular phylogeny. By taking into account the high sequence similarity between the collected samples (ANK Akata & Altuntas 551) and Myce...

Ankara University Beşevler 10. Yıl Campus (formerly known as Tandoğan Campus) is situated in Beşevler neighborhood of Çankaya district, at an elevation between 850 and 870 meters above the sea level. The area covers a total surface area of approximately 20 hectares and contains more than 350 plant species, of which roughly 150 are in tree and shrub...

Aim of the study: The aim of the present study is to identify, characterize and record a new agaric for the first time from Turkey. Study area: It covers a total area of approximately 20 ha and is located in Ankara within the boundaries of Çankaya district. Material and method: Basidiomata were collected from Ankara University Tandoğan Campus on Se...

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 & Altuntaş 166’) with Calocybe persicolor (Fr.) Singer, the re...

In the current study, Crepidotus crocophyllus (Berk.) Sacc. is reported for the first time for Turkish mycobiota. Short description of the new record together with its drawings related to macro and micromorphologies were given and discussed briefly.

Conocybe is a genus of family Bolbitiaceae within the order Agaricales (Basidiomycota). Although over 200 widely distributed species are currently exist, twenty-nine species have thus far been reported in Turkey. Fungal samples were collected from Onuncu yil campus area (formerly known as Tandogan Campus) of Ankara University. In the field, morphol...

The current study is based on fungi and infected host plant samples collected from Ankara University Tandoğan Campus (Ankara) between 2017 and 2019. As a result of the field and laboratory studies, 148 fungal species were identified. With the addition of formerly recorded 14 species in the study area, a total of 162 species belonging to 87 genera,...

Abstract: Background: The objective of the present study is to determine and compare TAS (Total Antioxidant Status), TOS (Total Oxidant Status) and OSI (Oxidative Stress Index) and heavy metal content (Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb and Ni) in Pholiota limonella (Peck) Sacc. mushroom samples collected from Balıkesir (Kaz Mountain National Park) and Yalova (Çınarcı...

This study was based on macrofungi samples collected from Kazdağı National Park and its close environs between 2014 and 2016. As a result of field and laboratory studies, 207 species belonging to 50 families within the 2 divisions were determined. Among them, 14 species belong to Ascomycota and 193 to Basidiomycota. All determined species were give...

İnsanlar yüzyıllardır mantarları doğrudan doğal ortamlarından elde etme yoluna gitmiş ve farklı amaçlarla kullanmıştır. İnsanların doğadan temin ettikleri mantarların faydalarının ve zararlarının tespiti insan sağlığı açısından önemlidir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada, halk arasında şemsiye mantarı olarak bilinen ve yaygın olarak tüketilen Macrolepiota p...

Human being have been consumed mushrooms due to their aroma and flavour. The macro-nutritional properties such as ash, protein fat, carbohydrate and energy and fatty acid ingredients of Lactarius deliciosus (L.) Gray, Lactarius deterrimus Gröger, Lactarius salmonicolor R. Heim & Leclair and Lactarius semisanguifluus R. Heim & Leclair were studied....
