ON THE PRESENCE OF Amanita citrina & A. muscaria IN BELGRAD FOREST, ISTANBUL

Wild fungi are collected mainly from Belgrad Forest which covers an area of c.5300 hectares and located in the European part of Istanbul. They are collected for consumption generally by local people and it is possible to see them as well as the cultivated ones in some local markets of the city in certain times of the year. On the other hand it is known that wild fungi have been the cause of serious poisonings even loss of life of people in Istanbul. Serious or fatal cases of poisoning seen in autumn in particular are due 0 to the consumption of toxic fungi. Unfortunately the Turkish macrofungal flora is still insufficiently known and we have only limited information on our toxic fungi.
