The macrofungi of Düzce urban forest

Diversity of forest macrofungal communities have been strongly influenced by different management approaches. While Düzce Urban Forest was a naturally oak forest in 1974, then it was converted to a pine plantation area by planting the maritime pine (Pinus pinaster). This study was based on the macrofungi species periodically collected from Düzce Urban Forest (Düzce) between 2017 and 2018. According to field and laboratory studies, 60 taxa belonging to 28 families of Basidiomycota division were reported. All taxa were listed together with their habitats, altitudes, localities, ethno-mycological data, collection dates, and accession numbers. Of this fungi species 28, 20 and 12 species were listed as edible, inedible and poisonous respectively. Among the identified macrofungi species, Lepiota cortinarius J.E. Lange was identified for the first time in Turkey.
