Abstract

Volvariella is a cosmopolitan genus, with V. pilosipilea recently described from Spain following a revision of the European taxa. This study reports the first record of Volvariella pilosipilea from Western Eurasia (Adıyaman Province, Türkiye), thereby extending its known distribution beyond the type locality. The identity of the studied collection was confirmed through a combination of morphological features and molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. We provide a detailed morphological description of the species, photographs of the basidiomata, line drawings of key microscopic structures, and a phylogenetic tree to illustrate its placement.

Özet

Volvariella kozmopolit dağılıma sahip bir cinstir ve Avrupa taksonlarının revizyonunu takiben V. pilosipilea yakın zamanda İspanya'dan tanımlanmıştır. Bu çalışma, Volvariella pilosipilea'nın Batı Avrasya’dan (Adıyaman İli, Türkiye) ilk kaydını rapor ederek türün bilinen dağılımını tip lokalitesinin dışına genişletmektedir. İncelenen koleksiyonun kimliği, morfolojik özellikler ve nükleer ribozomal DNA (rDNA) internal transkribe edilmiş ara dizilim (ITS) bölgesine dayanan moleküler filogenetik analiz kombinasyonu ile doğrulanmıştır. Türün ayrıntılı bir morfolojik tanımını, bazidiyomata fotoğraflarını, önemli mikroskobik yapıların çizgi çizimlerini ve yerleşimini gösteren bir filogenetik ağacı sunuyoruz.
