Abstract

Five species of lichenized fungi - (Lecanora invadens, Lecidea promiscua, Melaspilea interjecta, Placynthium garovaglioi, and Verrucaria bryoctona) - are reported as new to Turkey. Three of them, M. interjecta, P. garovaglioi, and V. bryoctona, are also new to Asia. Descriptions are presented, including geographic distribution, substrate, chemistry, and comparisons with morphologically similar taxa.
