This is reflected in the high number of plant taxa, particularly plant families that have truffles associated with them. The forests of these regions are dominated by ectomycorrhizal families including Pinaceae, Fagaceae, Betulaceae, Cistaceae, Salicaceae, and Malvaceae. There is a long history of mycological exploration in Turkey, with hundreds of papers published since 1915 (Solak et al., 2007; Türkoglu et al., 2008; Sesli & Denchev, 2010; Doğan & Aydın, 2010a, 2010b; Türkoğlu & Kuyumcu, 2010; Allı et al., 2011; Riccioni et al., 2011).
