Lepiota rubella Bres., an unusual tropical American agaric from Turkey
Özet
Mycologists have presented some new records of macrofungi in
recent years from Turkey (Solak et al., 2009; Baş Sermenli & Işıloğlu,
2009). In 2004 an exceedingly small, reddish brown lepiotaceous
agaric was found with whitish cream-coloured appendiculate, floccose
marginal cortina on the pileus, tomentose-lanose stipe below a poorly
developed ring-zone; it was found growing in association with
Codiaeum (Euphorbiaceae) in a plant-pot. Microscopically the fungus
appeared quite unique in its combination of small size of the
basidiome, relatively small, elongate-ellipsoid basidiospores with no
or at most vague dextrinoid reaction, and small projections on the
hyphae of the suprapellis with the end cells clavate. This new record
of interesting macrofungi was described as Lepiota rubella Bres
