This study was conducted to investigate the diversity of ectomycorrhizal mushroom by surveying sites from June 2004 to October 2005. The obtained results from investigation were as follows. The total of 5 classes 16 orders 63 families 149 genera and 358 species including saprophytic and ectomycorrhizal fungi was investigated. A total of 17 families 36 genera 152 species (1,285ea.) of ectomycorrhizal mushroom was investigated. The mushrooms are classified into 9 families 27 genera and 136 species in Agaricales, 5 families 6 genera and 12 species in Aphyllophorales and 3 families 3 genera and 4 species in Gasteromycetes. Dorminant species were Russulaceae (35 species) followed by Boletaceae (34 species), Amanitaceae(22 species) and Cortinariaceae (21 species). The mushroom occurrence of octomycorrhizal fungi was closely related to climatic conditions such as high air temperature and lots of rainfall from July to September. The environment factors which have a favorable influence of mushroom occurrence were soil pH, available $P_{2}O_{5}$ of soil and rainfall and air temperature of climatic environment.

Gymnopilus spectabilis, a hallucinogenic mushroom belonging to the family Cortinariaceae, is found growing in dense clusters on stumps and logs of hardwoods and conifers. It contains the hallucinogenic alkaloid psilocybin and its strongly bitter taste makes it undesirable as an edible. In an effort to identify chemical constituents of Korean native wild mushrooms, 4,6-decadiyne-1,3,8-triol (1), ergosta-4,6,8(14), 22-tetraen-3-one (2), bisnoryangonin (3), and hispidin (4) were isolated from the methanolic extract of the fruiting bodies of G. spectabilis. Their structures were assigned on the basis of various spectroscopic studies. Compounds 3 and 4 displayed significant scavenging activity against the ABTS radical cation, DPPH radical, and superoxide radical anion, while 1 and 2 exhibited no antioxidant activity.

Mushroom survey and collection were conducted in the Phousabous National Protected Area (PNPA), which is located at the Northeastern area 230km from the capital city of Lao-PDR, Vientiane, from April 2017 to September 2018. During this periods, mushroom specimens were collected from 8 different locations, and then they were identified and classified into 284 species, 142 genera, 56 families, 20 orders and 7 classes by morphological and molecular analyses. The mushrooms belongs to Ascomycota were classified into 10 species, 5 genera, 5 families, 4 orders and 3 classes, while those belongs to Basidiomycota were classified into 274 species, 137 genera, 51 families, 16 orders, and 4 classes, respectively. Among these mushrooms, the most species-rich families are Boletaceae (16.06%), Polyporaceae (10.12%), Russulaceae (9.94%), Amanitaceae (7.68%), Agaricaceae (4.54%), Marasmiaceae (4.36%), Cortinariaceae (3.66%), Entolomataceae (3.66%), Mycenaceae (2.79%), Xylariaceae (2.44%), Physalacriaceae (2.09%), Omphalotaceae (2.09%), Hydnangitaceae (2.09%), Lyophyllaceae (1.92%), Tricholomataceae (1.75%) and comprised 75.19% of the total specimens identified.

This study was conducted to investigate the diversity of higher fungi and relationship between higher fungi and climatic factors in Naejangsan National Park from April 2004 to October 2010. The obtained results from investigation were as follows. The higher fungi were classified into 48 families, 158 genera and 451 species in Basidiomycotina, 13 families, 26 genera and 39 species in Ascomycotina, and 4 families, 7 genera and 7 species in Myxomycetes, and most of them belonged to Hymenomycetidae in Basidiomycotina. Dominant species belonged to Ttricholomataceae (72 species), Russulaceae (39 species), Polyporaceae (41 species), Boletaceae (40 species), Cortinariaceae (35 species) and Amamtaceae (28 species). For the habitat environment, the ectomycorrhizal mushrooms were 38.8% (15 families, 36 genera and 193 species), litter decomposing and wood rotting fungi 39.4% (36 families, 107 genera and 196 species), grounding Fungi 19.9% (24 families, 51 genera and 99 species) and others 1.8% (3 families, 4 genera and 9 species). Monthly, most of higher fungi were found in July, August and September, and least found in November. In climatic conditions, most higher fungi were occurred in $23^{\circ}C$and above of mean temperature, $20^{\circ}C$and above of minimum temperature, and $29^{\circ}C$and above of maximum temperature. most of higher fungi were found in 73% and above of relative humidity and 200 mm and above of monthly precipitation. In case of ectomycorrhizal fungi like Amamtaceae, Boletaceae and Cortinariaceae, significance levels are not high in $32^{\circ}C$ and above of maximum temperature which mostly affects species occurrence than other climatic factors of mean and minimum temperature and monthly precipitation.

Mushroom fruiting was investigated in pine and oak dominated forest stands in Songni National Park located in central Korea for six years from 2003 to 2008, in order to understand the relationship between mushroom diversity and the environmental factors, precipitation, temperature, soil moisture and vegetation. The most frequent fruiting families were those of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms, Tricholomataceae, Amanitaceae, Russulaceae, Cortinariaceae, and Boletaceae. The frequency of mushroom fruiting varied from 94 to 167 species per year, with July and August having the highest(13~90 species). Mushroom fruiting was positively correlated to precipitation(r=0.897), using Palmer Drought Severity Index for the long term period and Standard Precipitation Index for short term period. Soil moisture content also affected mushroom fruiting, with Lactarius chrysorrheus and Russula virescens fruiting only at soil moisture content higher than 20%. Positive correlation between mushroom fruiting and temperature was also noted(r=0.77), with optimum rates at $21{\sim}25^{\circ}C$. Tricholoma flayayirens, Amanita gymnopus, Lactarius piperatus, Inocybe asteropora and Xerocomus chrysenteron were able to fruit at temperatures higher than $25^{\circ}C$. However, Laccaria amethystea, Amanita virosa and Russula mariae fruited at relatively wide temperature range. The influence of vegetation on mushroom fruiting was likewise noted, with 38 species, including Suillus bovinus and Boletopsis leucomelas being specific to pine dominated stands, while 42 species, including Polyporus arcularius and Hericium erinaceum were specific to oak dominated stands. On the other hand, around 50 species, including Laccaria laccata and Lycoperdon parlatum, were able to fruit in both types of vegetation. In conclusion, mushroom fruiting greatly varies with changes in precipitation, soil moisture, temperature and vegetation.
