Distribution of spontaneously growing mushrooms in the Wolchulsan National Park
Abstract
Mushrooms growing in the Wolchulsan National Park were surveyed from April to October 2018. As a result of this survey, 2 divisions, 9 classes, 24 orders, 71 families, 177 genera, and 407 species were found. Among them, 3 classes, 16 orders, 55 families, 150 genera, and 370 species belonged to Basidiomycota, while 6 classes, 8 orders, 16 families, 27 genera, and 37 species belonged to Ascomycota. The species richness was the highest in September at the altitudes between ~100 and 200 m. Among the investigated sites, the most diverse species occurred in the Gyeongpodae area. In this survey we found, Macrolepiota procera, Suillus bovinus, and Amanita pantherina, all of which have been known as climate-sensitive biological indicator species (CBIS). Based on the DNA sequence analyses, Craterellus parvogriseus was confirmed as a new record for Korea.
