A contribution to the knowledge of common Turkish higher fungi

There are many publications about the microfungi, but only few papers on the higher fungi of Turkey. Pilat (1932) is the first investigator of Turkish larger fungi as far as the author is aware from the literatures. He has found 68 species of fungi from four different families. Second Zeybek's work is about one species of Morchella that was found in the Western part of Anatolia. We have identified 100 higher fungi from the 10 different families in the present work. Most of the identified species were collected in the vicinities of Izmir and Istanbul within the years of 1968 and 1971. The list of higher fungi species which we have found is below according to the families. © 1972 Dr. W. Junk N.V
