New fungal records for Armenia

Our new article (https://lnkd.in/eFibSsFF) in Czech Mycology reports several new fungal records for Armenia, including the keratinophilic species Onygena equina, a truffle species closely resembling the recently described Tuber iranicum (formerly known as an endemic of Iran), and Panaeolus plantaginiformis, as well as the rediscovery of Battarrea phalloides, previously considered extinct in the country, with the only known record dating back to 1915.
