Abstract
The study was based on macrofungi samples collected from the region within the boundaries of Muradiye district of Van province in 2014 and 2015. As a result of field and laboratory studies 86 macrofungi species belonging to 50 genera, 25 families, seven orders and three classes within the divisions Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were determined. The determined taxa are listed together with their habitats, substrates, collection locality, geographic coordinates and personel voucher numbers. One of them, Melanophyllum aematospermum (Bull.: Fr.) Kreisel, is a new record for Turkey as the first member of the genus Melanophyllum.

Those fungi with fruiting bodies that can be seen by naked eye are known as macrofungi and almost 15.000 of them were determined in Europe (Lukić, 2008)

Summary
Fungi are an important group of organism for nature, and about 1.5 million species of them have been supposed to exist in the world (Hawksworth et al, 1995) Those fungi with fruiting bodies that can be seen by naked eye are known as macrofungi and almost 15.000 of them were determined in Europe (Lukić, 2008). Muradiye is a district of Van province within Eastern Anatolian region of Turkey and situated between 38°44ʹ 39°12ʹ north latitudes and 43°34ʹ - 43°53ˊ east longitudes. Though some macrofungal biodiversity studies have been carried out in neighboring districts and provinces (Demirel, 1996; Demirel and Uzun, 1996; Uzun and Demirel, 1996; Demirel et al, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2010, 2015; Kaya, 2000a,b,c,d; Kaya, 2001; Kaya and Demirel, 2000; Akçay et al, 2010; Demirel and Koçak, 2016; Şelem et al, 2019) there isnt a complete study on the macrofungi of Muradiye district.
