The new species belongs to a small group of species in the Lyophyllum sect. Difformia as traditionally circumscribed. Lyophyllum turcicum is easily distinguished mainly by the light tinges of the basidiomes, filiform-fusiform to cylindro-flexuose marginal cells, and elongate, ellipsoid spores. Key words: Lyophyllaceae, Lyophyllum turcicum, new species, Turkey 1. Introduction In recent years some new taxa have been described in the complex of the not blackening, caespitose-growing Lyophyllum P. Karst. species belonging to section Difformia (Bon, 1999). Lyophyllum sect. Difformia is presently known to include 14 caespitose and/or not blackening Lyophyllum species worldwide. Most of them are from Europe, with a few exceptions: L. multiforme from North America, L. tucumanense from Argentina, and L. shimeji from Japan. Two subsections have been distinguished: the first subsection, Difformia, encompasses the caespitosegrowing species, which are the majority; the second subsection, Lanzoniana Consiglio & Contu, encompasses the not caespitose-growing species. No species belonging to the second subsection seem to be known outside Europe (Consiglio and Contu, 2002). Although new species .
