Abstract
Türkiye is a very rich country in terms of plant diversity. In addition, parasitic fungi that cause diseases in plants are quite common, especially in some humid regions. Diseases caused by fungal species unfortunately cause significant losses in plant species that are important for use in agriculture, health or industry. The species of Clasterosporium was recorded in many parts of the world. Dematiaceous anamorph species Clasterosporium pistaciae M.B.Ellis cause serious damage to many plants living in their natural habitats and it was previously reported from Cyprus. However, it has only been recorded on mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus L.), which has different uses in terms of human health, as in this study. In this article, fungal species C. pistaciae was reported for the second time in the world and for the first time from Southern Anatolia (Türkiye) on P. lentiscus, evergreen tree or shrub species belonging to the Anacardiaceae. In addition to distribution information, the taxonomic classification, macro and microscopic characteristics of the microfungus was explained.
