Abstract

In July 2023, previously unrecorded fungi belonging to the genus Helvella were collected from the city of Taebaek, South Korea. These fungi are morphologically similar to Helvella crispa, but their differences include a wide, saddle-shaped apothecium and white hair on the receptacle surface. By analyzing DNA sequences combining the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nrLSU) regions and comparing them with various related species of Helvella, the collected fungi were identified as H. orienticrispa.
