Microfungi of Kastamonu Küre Mountain National Park forest trees and shrubs

This research was carried out in Kastamonu Küre Mountain National Park between 2004 and 2007. As a result of the study in this area, 210 microfungi growth on 62 different host plants have been distinguished. It is determined that this species are belong to Ascomycota (1 class, 4 subclassis, 12 order, 25 families, 46 genera and 62 species), Basidiomycota (2 classis, 2 order, 5 families, 6 genera and 12 species) and Deuteromycota (2 classis, 5 order, 6 families, 63 genera and 136 species). In this study, 14 genera and 94 microfungi species have been identified as new records for Turkey. Hyalodictyum colchicum Woron., the member of monotypic genus Hyalodictyum, is reported from Turkey on Quercus pubescens Willd. This is only the second locality reported for this fungus. A new species, Cylindrosporium crataeginum Erdogdu & Hüseyin on living leaves of Crataegus monogyna Jacq. subsp. monogyna and Crataegus pentagyna Waldst. & Kit. ex Willd. was described from research area. With regard to microfungi, the richest families are Rosaceae (37 species), Fagaceae (35 species), Corylaceae (24 species), Ulmaceae (14 species) and Salicaceae (14 species). We have also distinguished microfungi which vary from 1 to 11 species on the other family members. The recorded microfungi revealed different consort relationships with their host plants. This consort relationships were positive, negative, nötr and antagonistic.
