Abstract

Five parmelioid species of lichenized fungi - Myelochroa aurulenta, Parmelinopsis minarum, Parmotrema hypoleucinum, Parmotrema reticulatum and Xanthoparmelia verrucigera - are reported as new to Turkey. Parmotrema hypoleucinum and Xanthoparmelia verrucigera are also new to Asia while Parmelinopsis minarum and Parmotrema reticulatum are new to the Middle East. Geographic distribution, substrate, chemistry, and comparisons with morphologically similar taxa are presented.
