mantarlarda

Mantarlarda is Turkish for “in the mushrooms.” It is formed from mantar (mushroom) plus the plural suffix -lar and the locative suffix -da, yielding mantarlarda. Turkish uses vowel harmony, so the locative suffix takes -da after back vowels, resulting in mantarlarda. As a locative plural form, mantarlarda indicates a location inside or within several mushrooms and is used with nouns that denote containers or hosts for other things. The construction is common in scientific, ecological, culinary, and descriptive contexts.

In usage, mantarlarda describes where something is found or occurs. It can appear in field notes, research summaries, or descriptive passages about nature, biology, and food. For example: “Doğada mantarlarda yaşayan mikroorganizmalar çeşitlilik gösterir.” or “Mantarlarda bulunan organik maddeler mikrobiyal aktivite için önemli olabilir.” These sentences illustrate how mantarlarda specifies a location tied to mushrooms, whether referring to organisms inhabiting mushrooms or substances contained within them. The phrase is typically used with plural nouns or with singular nouns in a broader, general sense of location within fungal hosts.
