A deadly poisonous fungus, Galerina venenata A.H. Sm. collected from the rhizospheric region of Olea europaea L., which is distributed in the area with the dominance of Mediterranean climate, is reported for the first time for Türkiye. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on ITS rDNA sequences from Turkish collections confirmed the position of G. venenata in the genus, and being the closest relative of G. marginata (Batsch) Kühner. A detailed morphological description of the present species, photographs, and comparison with taxonomically and phylogenetically close species are provided.
