In this study, roots of Epipactis thunbergii were collected from Chujado on the north of Jeju-do. Six fungal isolates were isolated from surface-sterilized roots of the orchid and classified with groups based on morphological characteristics. Fungal DNA was extracted from each isolate and amplified ITS region using ITS1-OF/ITS4-OF primer pair. Three species of orchid mycorrhizal fungi were identified as Tulasnella calospora, Tulasnella sp. and Sebacina sp. based on molecular and morphological characteristics.
