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.
