Abstract :Russula praetervisa is a species whose presence in Turkey is still unproven. It is included in the table of contents of the Macrofungi of Turkey Checklist, but there is no data that specimens have been collected. As a result of the identification of the specimens collected from Datça County of Muğla Province, it became definite that this species is found in Turkey. The macroscopic, ecological and microscopic characters of the species have been given with photographs. Also, the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) gene of the specimen was sequenced, analyzed and a phylogenetic tree illustrating closely related taxa has been presented. The findings have been discussed within the scope of the relevant literature.Keywords : ITS, Biodiversity, Russula, Taxonomy
