Abstract
Dissingia confusa (Harmaja) K. Hansen & X.H. Wang , housed in the Fungarium of Van Yüzüncü Yıl University (VANF) is identified as a new record from Eastern Türkiye based on morphological and molecular characters. Pileus, hymenium, stipe, spore, ascus and paraphyse structures are used as morphological features and the nucleotide sequences of the large subunıt (LSU) and translation elangation factor 1-alpha (TEF1-α) regions are utulized as molecular data. The analyses are supplemented with an additional sample of 15 (7 for TEF1-α) Dissigia and 27 (14 for TEF1-α) Helvella specimens downloaded from GenBank database to figure phylogeny between two close genera. Morphological studies and genetic evidences confirm that Dissingia is phylogenetically separated from Helvella at genus level and Dissingia confusa is firstly identified in Türkiye. A detailed description, colour pictures of fresh and dried specimens, as well as images of microscopical characters and phylogenetic trees are provided.
