Entomophthoralean and ascomycetous fungi are the two major groups known to parasitize arthropods in almost every terrestrial habitat of earth. Within Ascomycota, Cordyceps sensu lato is a large genus with more than 400 spp. described on numerous orders Arthropoda. Among hosts , Coleoptera Lepidoptera orders. Out estimated 200 recorded coleopteran lepidopteran hosts, we have documented 92 based available information their host species. Scarabaeidae Elateridae families. Similarly, among...

Abstract The brominated flame retardant 3,3′,5,5′‐tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) may accumulate in the environment, including surface waters, and degrade there to potentially toxic products. We have previously shown that singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), produced by irradiation of rose bengal with visible light, oxidizes Triton X‐100‐solubilized TBBPA yield 2,6‐dibromo‐ p ‐benzosemiquinone anion radical while consuming Environ. Sci. Technol. 42 , 166, 2008). Here, we report a similar ‐induced...

Stromatal fruiting bodies of Cordyceps cardinalis were successfully produced in cereals.Brown rice, German millet and standard the longest-length stromata, followed by Chinese pearl barley, Indian millet, black rice barley.Oatmeal shortest-length bodies.Supplementation pupa larva to grains resulted a slightly enhanced production bodies; showing better than larva.50~60 g brown 10~20 mixed with 50~60 mL water 1,000 polypropylene (PP) bottle was found be optimum for body production.Liquid...

Amanita Pers. is a well-known monophyletic mushroom genus with broad distribution. However, the diversity of Korean species has been underestimated, and most taxonomic studies conducted in Korea have only investigated their morphological characteristics. This approach frequently insufficient for correct identification fungal classification; therefore, we constructed phylogeny subgen. Lepidella order to understand phylogenetic placements 16 specimens collected 2012. The using sequence data...

Cordyceps militaris specimens were continuously collected by Entomopathogenic Fungal Culture Collection (EFCC), Kangwon National University from different mountains, national parks and recreation of Korea 1986 to 2002, mainly late May October each year.Dry C. along with their isolates have been preserved in EFCC.Fruiting was induced single ascospore as well combinations brown rice medium.Fruiting experiments showed that produced fertile fruiting bodies, but could not produce any bodies.It...

Abstract Fungal species in the genera Armillaria and Desarmillaria (Physalacriaceae, Agaricales) are well known for their symbiotic relationships with Gastrodia elata Polyporus umbellatus , important components of traditional medicine Asia. In addition, some these cause root disease, which has had a negative economic impact by damaging destroying urban, horticultural forest trees. Five within have been previously reported South Korea, based primarily on basidioma morphology: A . cepistipes...

Sanghuang is a polypore mushroom, which has been widely used in oriental medicine. Since recent molecular phylogenetic studies elucidated its species delimitation, Sanghaungporus sanghuang became the official name of this fungus. In study, complete sequence mitochondrial DNA S. was determined. The whole genome 112,060 bp containing 14 proteins, 2 ribosomal RNA subunits, and 45 transfer RNAs. overall GC content 23.21%. A neighbour-joining tree based on atp6 data showed close relationship with...

In this study, we updated and revised the checklist of macrofungi, along with distribution phytogeographical regions regional conservation status in Mongolia. The comprises 677 macrofungal species belonging to 284 genera 119 families country. Based on previous studies, 18 are currently invasive checklist, only four endemic Among species, 51 was previously assessed as threatened Furthermore, collected all available occurrence records from various sources. A total 4733 occurrences 655 across...

Single ascospore isolates of Cordyceps bassiana were observed for their colony pigmentation on Sabouraud Dextrose agar plus Yeast Extract (SDAY) plates and inoculated in a brown rice medium production fruiting bodies. Colony did not show any relationship with perithecial stromata formation. The also grown opposite sides SDAY vegetative compatibility. Neither compatibility nor could be found to related each other. It was concluded that fertile body independent Synnemata formation more common...

For the seasonal changes of fungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota) diversity, we performed a biweekly survey macrofungi on defined plot in Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) stand (Gwangneung Forest, Pochen-si, Korea) from April 2014 to December 2014. The was surveyed 18 times. We also investigated diversity soil community during four seasons using pyrosequencing method. collected (25 specimens) were classified into one phylum, class, orders, 10 families, 13 genera, 17 species; fungal...

Cordyceps cardinalis was reported in Japan and the USA 2004, its fruiting bodies have recently been cultured Korea. Herbarium specimens preserved at Research Institute, Mushtech, Korea were revised identified as C. cardinalis, based on morphological characters conidial structures. Most of collected from Mt. Halla Jeju-do. The effects various nutritional sources environmental conditions such temperature pH mycelial growth studied. Oatmeal agar, Martin's peptone dextrose Schizophyllum...

Most known species in the Strophariaceae are decomposers and grow on various kind of organic matter. Approximately 18 genera 1,316 have been reported worldwide. Through an ongoing survey indigenous fungi Korea, 29 specimens belonging to were collected from 2012 2016. These identified based morphological characteristics molecular analysis internal transcribed spacer sequences. Fifteen taxa confirmed, with eight matching those previously recorded. Seven five shown be new records Korea:...

Pulveroboletus ravenelii, an ectomycorrhizal fungus, has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine and mushroom dyes; however, its mitogenome phylogenetic relationship with other taxa remain unexplored. Here, we sequenced the mitochondrial genome of P. ravenelii using next-generation sequencing found that mitogenome, a circular DNA molecule 43,528 bp, comprised 15 protein-coding genes, transfer RNA two ribosomal genes. The had base composition A (37.52%), C (11.14%), G (12.21%), T...

A specimen of Beauveria bassiana was collected from Yang-yang Gangwon province, Korea in October 2006.Conidial isolates were prepared the by dilution method and inoculated brown rice medium for fruiting body production.After nearly two months incubation perithecial stromata developed single as well their combinations.They determined Cordyceps observing stromatal characters conidial structures.This is first report development C. B. cultures.

Shimizuomyces paradoxus showed no inhibitory effect against plant pathogen fungi, such as Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and Alternaria solani. The S. culture filtrate higher seed germination seedling growth rates in canola than distilled water potato-dextrose broth. A conidial suspension of 1.0×10(4)/mL resulted the highest stimulating effects on total length, fresh dry weight shoots roots cucumber, when compared to concentration. Total length shoot increased with foliar spray...

Effects of various preservation periods and subcultures on fruiting body formation Cordyceps militaris were investigated using EFCC C-10995 single ascospore strains.Fruiting by original strains was profuse when preserved at 4 o C for 5~6 months.Fruiting from stable till second to sixth subcultures, after which it decreased sharply.The more the colony color changed, less bodies formed.Liquid inoculum preparation in same or separate broths did not affect formation.Similarly, two C-10995-3...

During an ongoing survey of indigenous fungi Korea, four specimens belonging to were collected Ulleung Island. These identified as three based morphological characteristics molecular analysis rDNA-internal transcribed spacer sequences. Three shown be new records Korea: Hymenopellis orientalis, Paraxerula hongoi, Ponticulomyces orientalis. The...
