Abstract

This study identified the species Hohenbuehelia petaloides (Bull.) Schulzer and Lacrymaria lacrymabunda (Bull.) Pat. are using both morphological and molecular methods. Samples were collected from Çanakkale province during fieldwork in 2024. During morphological identification, macroscopic and microscopic features were examined and compared with existing literature data. At the molecular level, the ITS (internal transcribed spacer) gene region was amplified and sequenced from DNA extracted from the samples, and a comparative analysis was conducted using sequences from the GenBank database. Although both species had previously only been reported morphologically in different regions of Turkish mycobiota, this study presents the first molecular characterization and the first record of both H. petaloides and L. lacrymabunda in Çanakkale province. These results further highlight the importance of integrating morphological and molecular data for species identification
