The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in the genus Tricholoma was analyzed, including for its primary nucleotide sequence and secondary structural characterization. The secondary structures of the ITS2 region in the genus Tricholoma were identified for use in bioinformatic processes to study molecular evolution and compare secondary structures. Ten newly sequenced ITS regions were added to the analysis and submitted to the GenBank database. The resulting structure from a minimum energy algorithm indicated the four-domain model, as previously suggested by others. The conserved secondary structure of the ITS2 sequences of the genus Tricholoma exhibited certain unique features, including pyrimidine tracts in the loops of domain A and a complete structure containing four domains, with motifs identified in other ITS2 secondary structures. A phylogenetic tree was derived from sequence alignment based on the secondary structures. From the resulting maximum parsimonious tree, it was found that the species in the genus Tricholoma had evolved monophyletically and were composed of four groups, as supported by the bootstrapping values and pileus color.

Many higher fungi were collected at Mt. Moak Provincial Park, Mt. Yonsuk in Wangju-Kun from May to October 1995. They were identified and according to the results, one genus and eight species were newly to Korea. Genus Stereopsis was newly to Korea. Hygrophorus arbustivus, Tricholoma imbricatwn, Mycenafragillima, Cortinarius spilomeus, C. saturninus, Dermocybe semisanguinea, Stereopsis burtianum and Jansia bomeensis were newly to Korea.

Many fungi were collected at Mt. Daedun Provincial Park between the periods from March 2001 to October 2002 and they were identified. According to the results, the fungi diversity included 2 division, 3 subdivisions, 5 classes, 4 subclasses, 12 orders, 35 families, 75 genera and 153 species. Among them Ileodictyon is unrecorded genus and Ileodictyon gracile, Mycena flosum-nivium and Tricholoma lascivum are newly to Korea. Dominant family are Tricholomataceae, Russulaceae and Polyporaceae;genus Amanita and species Collybia confluens and Russula emetica In useful fungi and ecological resources, edible fungi included 51 species; culture fungi 10; poisonous fungi 18: medicinal fungi 17: anticancer fungi 22: ectomycorrhizal fungi 26 and wood rotting fungi 51, In geographical distributions of Chonbuk areas, same species are 50 spcies of Jeongup ; 56 of Mt.Manduck : 84 of Mt.Jiri : 28 of Pyonsan national park : 59 of Cheonju arboretum and 51 of Mt,Sunun.

Tricholoma matsutake is an ectomycorrhizal fungus that has a symbiotic relationship with the root of Pinus densiflora. Soil microbial communities greatly affect the growth of T. matsutake, however, few studies have examined the characteristics of these communities. In the present study, we analyzed soil fungal communities from Gyeongju and Yeongdeok using metagenomic pyrosequencing to investigate differences in fungal species diversity, richness, and taxonomic composition between the soil under T. matsutake fruiting bodies (Sample 2) and soil where the fairy ring of T. matsutake was no longer present (Sample 1). The same spot was investigated three times at intervals of four months to observe changes in the community. In the samples from Yeongdeok, the number of valid reads was lower than that at Gyeongju. The operational taxonomic units of most Sample 2 groups were less than those of Sample 1 groups, indicating that fungal diversity was low in the T. matsutake-dominant soil. The soil under the T. matsutake fruiting bodies was dominated by more than 51% T. matsutake. From fall to the following spring, the ratio of T. matsutake decreased. Basidiomycota was the dominant phylum in most samples. G-F1-2, G-F2-2, and Y-F1-2 had the genera Tricholoma, Umbelopsis, Oidiodendron, Sagenomella, Cladophialophora, and Phialocephala in common. G-F1-1, G-F2-1, and Y-F1-1 had 10 genera including Umbelopsis and Sagenomella in common. From fall to the following spring, the amount of phyla Basidiomycota and Mucoromycota gradually decreased but that of phylum Ascomycota increased. We suggest that the genus Umbelopsis is positively related to T. matsutake.

The 18S rDNA sequences of Tricholoma matsutake (TM=T. caligatum var. nauseoum) collected in Korea were analyzed for the ectomycorrhizal fungi in the roots of Pinus densiflora. The 514 base pairs of rDNA region were synthesized by UF-5 and UR-6 primers, and double checked in the base pair. The sequence of four strains synthesized were all identical in this work, but different from those done by the previous workers. The basidiocarps collected in this work. were identified to T. matstake after searching the 18s rDNA by the BLAST in NCBI. Only several base pairs of 18S rDNA analyzed from other related basidiocarps were different from our analyses of 18S rDNA. The dendrogram were made based on the sequences of the 514 bp 18S rDNA by CLUSTAL-X alignment program. The groupings of the species at the level of genus in the dendrogram were well constructed.
