Abstract :This study focuses on macrofungus specimens collected during a comprehensive field survey in 2023 in the Çukurca district of Hakkâri. Each specimen was photographed in situ and analysed using well-known mycological techniques. Detailed morphological analysis is crucial for the correct identification of the collected samples. All microcharacters of the species are meticulously drawn in the manuscript for clarity. In particular, this study represents the first description of Helicogloea lagerheimii Pat. at the genus level in Türkiye. Furthermore, the discovery of H. lagerheimii in the Çukurca region highlights the ecological diversity and richness of the region\\\'s mycobiota. It underlines the need for continued mycological research in under-explored areas of the country.
