Abstract
The Tricholoma biodiversity of the Aegean region of Turkey has been determined and reported in this study. As a consequence of field and laboratory studies, 31 Tricholoma species have been identified, and five of them (T. filamentosum, T. frondosae, T. quercetorum, T. rufenum, and T. sudum) have been reported for the first time from Turkey. The identification key of the determined taxa is given with this study.
Highlights
IntroductionTricholoma (Fr.) Staude is one of the classic genera of Agaricales, and more than 1200 members of this genus were globally recorded in Index Fungorum to date (www. indexfungorum.org, access date 23 April 2018), but many of them are placed in other genera such as Lepista (Fr.) W.G

Summary
Tricholoma (Fr.) Staude is one of the classic genera of Agaricales, and more than 1200 members of this genus were globally recorded in Index Fungorum to date (www. indexfungorum.org, access date 23 April 2018), but many of them are placed in other genera such as Lepista (Fr.) W.G. A comprehensive study on the taxonomy of the genus Tricholoma in Northern Europe was conducted by Heilmann-Clausen et al (2017) and 72 species were discussed based on morphological characters and ITS sequence data. Another comprehensive study was published by Reschke et al (2018) from Yunnan Province of China and six Tricholoma species new to science were described. The diversity and taxonomy of 70 species were discussed based on morphological and ITS sequences data These observations show that the knowledge of the taxonomy and diversity of the genus Tricholoma is not enough in the world
