Abstract
In South Korea, three species of Heterobasidion, H. annosum, H. araucariae and H. insulare have been recorded. However, these species have not been found in the neighboring countries such as China and Japan. For resolving this matter, a total of 11 materials of Heterobasidion spp. from South Korea were gathered and morphologically examined. Species descriptions from the previous studies were referred if the materials were not available. Phylogenetic analyses using ITS and TEF gene sequences were also performed to infer the species relationships of the Korean Heterobasidion spp with their allied species. Through the morphological investigations and phylogenetic analyses we found that specimens recorded as H. annosum and H. araucariae are actually H. ecrustosum, and the ones recorded as H. insulare are actually H. orientale. The two recognized species are described and illustrated.
