... asprellum (Fr.) Fayod ( Entolomataceae ) and Rimbachia bryophila (Pers.) Redhead ( Tricholomataceae ) are recorded for the first time from Turkey. Short descriptions of the taxa are given together with its photographs related to macro and micromorphologies Key words: New records, Entoloma, Rimbchia, Turkey Entoloma asprellum (Fr.) Fayod ( Entolomataceae ) and Rimbachia bryophila (Pers.) Redhead ( Tricholomataceae ) Türkiye’den ilk kez kaydedilmiştir. Makro ve mikro morfolojilerine ilişkin fotoğrafları ile birlikte türlerin kısa betimlemeleri verilmiştir Anahtar kelimeler : Yeni kayıtlar, Entoloma, Rimbchia, Türkiye Entoloma (Fr.) P. Kumm is a large genus of the family Entolomataceae with about 1000 taxa (Kirk et al., 2008). Although some members of the genus form mycorrhizal relationships, most are sabrobic. Entoloma species are widespeared and found in a wide variety of habitats such as woodlands, grasslands moors, peat-bogs and arctic or alpine conditions. They may form clitocyboid, collybioid, omphalinoid, mycenoid, pleuroid or tricholomaoid basidiocarps, free to adnate, adnate-decurrent or decurrent lamellae, 2-4 spored basidia and angular spores (Hansen and Knudsen 1992; Bas et al., 1988). Rimbachia Pat. is a genus of the family Tricholomataceae and represents eleven confirmed taxa with a widespread distribution in tropical regions (Kirk et al., 2008). The members of the genus are characterized by a sessile or short stiped, thin and membranous, white, pleurotoid, cyphelloid, flabelliform or cupulate basidiocarp, smooth, rugose or venose hymenophore, smooth, hyaline, thin walled, inamyloid, subglobose to ellipsoid spores with very prominent hilar appendix (Hansen and Knudsen 1992; Bas et al., 1995). According to present literature on Turkish macrofungi (Solak et al., 2007; Sesli and Denchev, 2008, Akata et al., 2009; Akata 2012; Kaya et al., 2012; Sesli and Helfer 2013; Akata and Kaya, 2013; Atila and Kaya, 2013), Entoloma asprellum and Rimbachia bryophila have not previously been reported from Turkey . The study aims to make a contribution to the macrofungi of Turkey by adding new records. Fruit bodies were collected from Zigana Mount ain (Gümüşhane) and Uzungöl Nature Park (Trabzon) in 2011. During field studies, necessary morphological and ecological properties of the samples were noted and they were photographed in their natural habitats. Thereafter they were taken to the laboratory for necessary macroscopic and microscopic investigations. Identification was performed with the help of literature Breitenbach and Kränzlin (1995), Bas et al. (1988; 1995) and Hansen and Knudsen (1992). The identified specimens are kept at Karamanoğlu Mehm etbey University, Kamil Özdağ Science Faculty, Department of Biology, Karaman, Turkey. The systematics of the taxa is in accordance with Kirk et al. (2008). Short descriptions and ecologies of newly recorded taxa are given together with their localities, collection dates and photographs related to their macro and micromorpholgies. Agaricales Underw.

Basidiospores 9- 13 × 6 -9 μm, 5-8 angled (Figure 1b), brown pink. Ecology: Autumn, usually gregarious, rarely solitary, in moist grasslands, subalpine meadows among grasses, and herbs on soil or plant debris, preferably basic or neutral soil, primarily at montane to subalpine elevations, widespread (Breitenbach and Kränzlin, 1995 ).
