Abstract

A total of 118 fungal specimens were collected from Mt. Manggyeong, Chungnam province, Korea between July and October 2014.

Out of 118 specimens, eight species, Amanita manginiana, A. pilosella, Calvatia holothurioides, Cantharellus tabernensis, Dicephalospora rufocornea, Gymnopus menehune, Marasmius brunneospermus, and Russula cerolens, have not been previously reported in Korea.
