Dogan, Hasan Huseyin & Mitko Karadelev. Xeromphalina junipericola, a rare species new to southeastern Europe. Mycotaxon 110: 247–251. 2009.

ABSTRACT: Xeromphalina junipericola, a species new to Turkish and Macedonian mycobiota, is described. This wood-decaying fungus has been collected on stumps of juniper trees (Juniperus excelsa and J. foetidissima) in six localities situated in the central and southern part of Turkey, and on stump of Juniperus excelsa in one locality in Macedonia. It is a very rare species previously known only from a few localities in Spain. These finds will provide a better picture of its distribution area.
