Several species of Gyromitra are highly poisonous when consumed raw the presence of gyromitrin. In this study, Gyromitra specimens deposited in the Korea National Arboretum were re-examined and subjected to molecular sequence analysis. G. gigas, G. aff. perlata, and G. tianshanensis were identified based on their morphological features and molecular phylogenetic analysis for the first time in Korea. Furthermore, internal transcribed spacer and 28S rRNA sequences of G. esculenta and G. infula were analyzed to confirm their phylogeny.

As a part of studies on the fungal flora of Korea, authors have collected over 60 higher fungi specimens during summer season in 1993 in Mt. Hungjung which was located in eastern part of Korea. Among them two genera are new to Korea: Neobulgaria Petrak and Melastiza Boudier. Following five species are recorded for the first time in Korea: Psilocybe xeroderma Huijsm, Galerina vittaeformis (Fr.) Singer var. vittaeformis f. vittaeformis (Fr.) Singer, Gyromitra infula (Schaeffer ex Fries) Quelet, Neobulgaria pura (Fries) Petrak and Melastiza chateri (W. G. Smith) Boudier, for which Korean common names are designated in this present paper. All color names and terms within quotation marks are taken from Kornerup and Wanscher 1983, Methuen handbook of colour. The specimens are all deposited in the RDAGB's herbarium.
