Abstract :Aim of study: The main aim of this study is to contribute to the fungal diversity of Türkiye by presenting two newly documented species within the order of Agaricales. Area of study: The samples of the newly reported species were collected under pine trees in Ankara Üniversitesi Beşevler 10. Yıl Campus, Ankara, and in fir forest at At Plateau, located 10 km from Bolu city center. Material and method: The samples underwent detailed analysis, including morphological evaluation and DNA sequencing of the nrITS rDNA region and the TEF1α gene. This process involves examining both microscopic and macroscopic characteristics to perform phylogenetic analysis. Main results: Fieldwork and laboratory analysis have led to the first report of the species Agaricus nevoi Wasser and Hygrophorus abieticola Krieglst. ex Gröger & Bresinsky, both belonging to the order Agaricales, from Türkiye. Research highlights: The current study introduces a newly recorded Agaricales species in Türkiye, bringing the total number of known genera Agaricus and Hygrophorus species in Türkiye to 37 and 31, respectively.
