Lee and author (2000) rearanged the list of mushrooms recorded in Korea, containing 1,554 species 388 genera from 90 families for the systematic classification of Korean mushrooms at Korea Forest Research Institute. In September, 2002, Lee, Tai-Soo and Kab-Hee Yoon made public ‘The Index of Korea-Japan Mushroom names in Korea’ that listed 1,610 species from 396 genera, 90 families and 23 orders of mushrooms recorded in Korea. Among the listed taxa, 1,369 species, 297 genera, 65 families, 15 orders belong to Basidiomycotina and 241 species, 99 genera, 25 families and 8 orders belong to Ascomycotina. A total of 56 species were newly added to the list of recorded Korean mushrooms for a period of 2 years. On the other hand, a total of 75 species, 3 varieties and 2 formae were added to the list of recorded Korean mushrooms by the author, and they were published by many researchers from 2001 to 2004. Among the published taxa, one forma, 20 species, 16 genera, 12 families belong to Ascomycotina and one forma, 3 varieties, 55 species, 33 genera, 17 families belong to Basidiomycotina.

This list contains all the species of mushrooms recorded in Korea and the Korean name for the species. Since the Korean Society of Mycology reported the mushroom name list of 588 species from 190 genera in 1978 for a unification of Korean name for mushrooms many papers and illustrated books have added the name of recorded mushrooms to the list. However, we have been confused with the scientific name and the Korean name for the fungi due to a inappropriate arrangement and an incomplete classification system of Korean mushrooms. Therefore, I rearranged 885 species from 261 genera, which have been reporeted in Korea, based on the recently published documents such as Ainsworth et al. (1973), Singer (1986) and Imazeki and Hongo (1987 and 1988).

The term of Mushrooms means to spread like the April showers. After 18th century, the mycelium and spores of mushrooms were observed by microscope and then was denominated as fungi. About one hundred thousand species of mushrooms in appearance were worldly reported, and in Korea about four thousand species of mushrooms are estimated. In Korea, total of one thousand nine hundred one species of mushrooms have been recorded. Mushrooms belonging to the group of organisms called fungi, which must obtain their food from living plants or animals or from their remains after death. A large number of mushrooms grow in association with the roots of trees and other woody plants, called mycorrhizal fungi, both mushrooms and plants require this relationship for growth and development. And also many Mushrooms are saprobic, living on decayed various fallen leaves, twigs, trees and vegetable remains and etc. some of these million of spores settles on the proper habitat, these spores germinates and grows into a mass of threads, then a mycelium. This is the vegetable part of the mushrooms, what we call mushrooms are the carpophores, all the characteristics of the morphological features are appropriately used to identify species of mushrooms. Recently, identification and classification of mushrooms are newly confirmed by molecular analysis. In 2013, One thousand nine hundred one species of mushrooms in "List of Mushrooms in Korea" which published by the Korean Society of Mycology were recorded. Total of 238species, 107genera, 40families, 13orders, 6Classes belong to phylum Ascomycota. Total of 1,663species, 403genera 81families, 18orders, 7classes belong to phylum Basidiomycota.

Recorded mushrooms in Chju-do, Korea are composed of 1 division, 2 subdivisions, 4 classes, 3 subclasses, 14 orders, 41 families, 96 genera and 186 species. Because of dual recording of synonyms of 5 genera and 16 species, the numbers of genera and species in the list are 101 and 202 respectively.

The mushrooms of this study were collected mainly on Mt. Halla on Cheju-do from April of 1995 to October of 1997. A total of 292 species from 127 genera were identified. Among them, 103 species from 41 genera of the Basidiomycota and 88 species from 13 genera of the Ascomycota were recorded for the first time on Cheju-do. Five species were recorded for the first time in Korea. They are: Typhula phacorriza, Cordyceps crinalis, Cordyceps cochlidiicola, Cordyceps longissima and Cordyceps prolifica.

The indigenous fungi in Mudeungsan National Park were investigated between 2020 and 2022. All collected specimens were identified to the species level based on their morphological characteristics and rDNA sequences. Species belonging to the family Boletaceae were analyzed in depth. Six species, Aureoboletus sinobadius, Hourangia densisquamata, H. nigropunctata, Tengioboletus glutinosus, Tylopilus himalayanus, and Xerocomus subparvus were newly recorded as macromycota in Korea.

The knowledge of native wild mushrooms traditionally using in Jeju Island, that have specific native environment and various biodiversity, was investigated. From Jeju and Seogwipo cities including 7 provinces 4 locals, so total 50 villages, data was collected in the entire area and voice of the 93 elderly people between the age of fifty and ninety were recorded. As a result, total 23 native wild mushrooms were used in which 2 species were poisonous mushrooms, 7 species were medicinal mushrooms, 2 species was used for folk religion, 2 species were not used for living but for attention and 12 species were edible mushrooms. Also, a total of 267 cases of traditional knowledge was collected, in which 197 cases were about edible mushrooms for 12 species, 43 cases were about poisonous mushrooms for 2 species, 16 cases were about medicinal mushrooms for 7 species. Interestingly, the fortune for agriculture was told depending on spore mass release of Cyathus stercoreus which grows in animal feces and compost. It is considered as the distinctive traditional knowledge of Jeju Island.

This study was conducted to survey the diversity and distribution of mushrooms growing spontaneously on Jeju Island in the last eight years. Approximately 2,000 specimens of mushrooms were collected in Gotjawal, Hallasan Natural Park, and Oreum, the habitats where a rich diversity of mushrooms was expected, from 2006 to 2013. They were identified as 74 families, 213 genera and 511 species. Thus, including 69 families, 99 genera and 561 species from the previous study conducted in 2005, a total of 83 families, 257 genera and 740 species of wild mushrooms have been recorded. This study would support new information for fungal flora in Korea and preliminary data for further studies on mushroom diversity.

Amanita (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) is one of the most well-known genera composed of poisonous mushrooms. This genus of almost 500 species is distributed worldwide. Approximately 240 macrofungi were collected through an ongoing survey of indigenous fungi of Mt. Jeombong in Inje County, Korea in 2014. Among these specimens, 25 were identified as members of Amanita using macroscopic features. Specimens were identified to the species level by microscopic features and molecular sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer and large subunit of nuclear ribosomal RNA. We molecularly identified 13 Amanita species, with seven species matching previously recorded species, four species (A. caesareoides, A. griseoturcosa, A. imazekii, and A. sepiacea) new to Korea, and two unknown species.

To understand fungal species in evergreen broadleaf forest, occurrence and habitate of wild mushrooms spontaneously growing at the Dongbaekdongsan of Seonheulgot in Jeju Island were investigated. Fungal samples were collected from an area of $500\;m^2$ size consisting of four designated plots from in June 2007 to December 2008. Wild mushrooms were identified 69 genera and 178 species within the sampling places. Among 178 species, twenty-eight genera and fifty species were first reported in Jeju Island. Especially, Amanita pseudogemmata was first recorded in Korea. The mushroom species were divided into six groups on the basis of fungal habitats in which 44 species were on dead tree, 29 species on fallen leaf, 99 species on soil surface, 2 species on animal feces, 2 species on insect or mushroom, and 2 species on moss.
