Abstract: Fifty genera containing 152 taxa of lichenised and lichenicolous fungi were identified from 15 sampling stations in the Turkish provinces of Gaziantep, Kahramanmarafl, K›rflehir and Yozgat. Rosellinula frustulosae (Vouaux) R.Sant. is a new record for Turkey.

Introduction sites are given in Table 1. The taxa are listed in About 360 papers refer to lichens from Turkey (John, alphabetical order for each locality. This allows a rough 2004). Few taxa have been reported from the overview of the association of the lichens at the different study area (Steiner, 1916; John, 1996, 2002; Nimis & localities, covering in each case a comparable small area. John, 1998). Due to the short history of Turkish The nomenclature follows Hafellner & Türk (2001) lichenology, covering no more than 2 decades, large gaps and other modern results (Blanco et al., 2004). Author in the knowledge of the distribution of lichens in Turkey names are according to Brummitt & Powell (1992). are obvious, even for common species.
