Abstract

A survey of the indigenous fungal resources of Korea was undertaken during 2014-2015. All specimens collected in this study were identified at the species level, based on their morphological characteristics and rDNA sequence data. Among them,12 macrofungal species, viz. Agaricus guizhouensis, Amanita orientifulva, Armillaria cepistipes, Crepidotus inhonestus, Daldinia childiae, Elmerina cladophora, Lycoperdon scabrum, Marasmius brunneoaurantiacus, Otidea bufonia, Pluteus hongoi, Pluteus variabilicolor , and Russula grisea have not been previously reported in Korea.
