Abstract :In the present study, fungal samples collected from Enez and Süloğlu districts of Edirne Province, in Türkiye with the help of truffle-detecting dogs were analyzed. The macroscopic features and environmental details of the collection sites were documented in their natural habitats. The samples were investigated with light- and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and were also used in ITS rDNA-based molecular phylogenetic analysis, which revealed that they belong to Delastria rosea Tul. & C. Tul. The identification was further supported by morphological data. This is the first record of D. rosea in Türkiye at the genus and species level. A brief description of the newly reported species is provided. Macro- and microphotographs of the spores taken by both ligth and electron microscop (SEM). With this study, the number of genera and species of Turkish truffles and truffle-like fungi has increased to 36 and 105, respectively.Keywords : Delastria rosea, hypogean fungus, new record, Pezizales, Türkiye
