Abstract :Hymenogaster luteus and Leucogaster nudus, two new specimens of previously reported truffle taxa, were collected and itentified from habitats within the boundaries of the Eastern Black Sea and the Marmara Regions of Turkey. Hymenogaster luteus was reported previously only once from the localities within Isparta, Osmaniye, Tekirdağ and Yalova Provinces in Turkey. The first Turkish record of Leucogaster nudus was reported by Pilát from Ilgaz Mountain (Kastamonu Province). Brief descriptions and new distribution localities of the species were provided together with the photographs related to their macro and micromorphologies.Keywords : Basidiomycetes, Biodiversity, Hypogeous fungi, Turkey
