Tricholoma matsutake is commercially important wild edible mushroom. The only method for cultivation of T. matsutake has been to use matsutake-infected pine trees. In this study, twenty-one fruiting bodies were collected from the matsutake-infected pine trees in the Hongcheon experimental site in 2020. The fruiting bodies from the existing production area of matsutake-infected pine tree and from its transplantation site were found to be identical through monitoring and analysis of 13 microsatellite markers. Transplanted matsutake-infected pine trees succeeded in fairy-ring formation and matsutake fruiting in 2010 and 2017 to 2020. In conclusion, the matsutake mycelium of transplanted matsutake-infected pine tree originates from the existing matsutake-infected pine tree production.
