In the present study, fungal specimens collected from Yeşildere village in Uşak province, Türkiye were evaluated. The specimens underwent detailed examination through both morphological and DNA (nrITS rDNA region and TEF1a gene) sequence-based phylogenetic analysis. Based on the evaluation of micro- and macromorphological characteristics, and phylogenetic analyses, the specimen was identified as A. vidua Gasch, G. Moreno & P.- A. Moreau. This identification marks A. vidua as a new record for the Turkish Amanita section Phalloideae. The study described this newly recorded species, including specific details such as its location, habitat observations, geographical coordinates, collection date, and photographs showcasing its macro and micromorphological features. Additionally, it also includes illustrations of some microscopic structures of the species. The study is further enriched with SEM images, offering a detailed view of the species characteristics, and the findings are briefly discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study was carried out on some poisonous macrofungi samples collected from the East Anatolia region. As a result of field and laboratory studies, 36 poisonous taxa belonging to Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes were identified. The identified taxa are given with their distributions, habitat and substrates, collection dates and collectors' numbers. One of the species, Amanita eliae Qúel. (Amanitaceae), is a new record for the poisonous fungi of Turkey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
