A new species of Barssia (Ascomycota, Helvellaceae) from Turkey

A new species of Barssia (Ascomycota, Helvellaceae) from Turkey

A new species of the genus Barssia was identified from Turkey using both morphological and phylogenetic analysis of theribosomal internal transcribed spacer region (ITS rDNA) and nuclear ribosomal large subunit (LSU rDNA) gene sequences. Macroscopicand microscopic features of the fresh samples were photographed and a diagnostic key of the genus Barssia was built consideringcharacteristics of known species.
