To study the phylogenetic relationships of species of Trichaptum and to infer intraspecific dibergence of T. abietinum, partial mitochondrial small subunit rDNA sequences were determined. Six strains of T. abietinum, two of T. biforme, and one of T. fusco-violaceum were examined. Parsimony and distance analyses showed that each Trichaptum species forms a distinct group and that T. abietinum consists of two or more subgroups. Strains from North America were distantly related to one another but the European strain formed an independent group with three Korean strains, suggesting the possibility that Korean taxa may be phylogenetically closer to European taxa than to North American taxa.

For the phylogenetic study of the genus Trichaptum, nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences from eight strains of four Trichaptium species were examined. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using molecular data on 18 rDNA and 5.8S rDNA and thei ITSs. Parsimony analyses of the Trichaptum species showed that T. biforme and T. laricinum made a monophyletic group respectively, suggesting that each species is phylogenetically independent. However, T. abietum represented a polyphyletic group and T. fusco-violaceum formed a polytomous group, suggesting that these species could be in the process of evolutionary differentiation. Examination of base substitutions of the 18S rRNA gene reveals that the C-T transition is most predominant and that there is a stronger transition bias between closely related organisms rather than between distantly related ones.

To infer phylogenetic relationships between species of Trichaptum (Polyporaceae), RFLP analyses of PCR-amplified DNAs were accomplished. Regions coding for ITSs of nuclear SSU rRNA genes and for mitochondrial SSU rRNA genes from thirteen strains of four Trichaptum species (T. abietinum, T. biforme, T. fusco-violaceum, and T. laricinum) were amplified and digested with eight restriction enzymes. All the fragmentation patterns were characterized and coded as 0/1 for the absence/presence of fragments. A phylogenetic tree based on the combined data sets was constructed using the Dollo parsimony method. While every two strains of T. abietinum, T. biforme, T. fusco-violaceum, and T. laricinum formed an independent group, the other strains of T. abietimum and T. fusco-violaceum made mixed groupings among compared strains. It is inferred that T. abietinum and T. fusco-violaceum have more variations, possibly geographic or physiological ones, than other species in the genus.

Five fungi (mushrooms), Daedaleopsis styracina, Trichaptum abietium, Coriolus versicolor, Pisolithus tinctorius and Tricholomopsis decora, were screened and examined the fibrinolytic activity and specificity. The extracts of mushrooms showed a level of fibrinolytic activity that was about 3-4 times higher than that of plasmin 1.0 unit. In particular, Pisolithus tinctorius of them showed the greatest enzyme activity (4.71 plasmin unit/mL) by fibrin plate assay, and the highest specificity (1.32 plasmin unit/mL) using chromogenic substrate (N-p-Tosyl-Gly-Pro-Lys p-nitroanilide) by Tricholomopsis decora. And the same molecular mass 54 and 61kDa showing the fibrinolytic activity obtained from all fruiting bodies were confirmed, and it was found that Trichaptum abietium and Tricholomopsis decora have a strong fibrinolytic enzyme with an apparent size of 100 kDa and 84 kDa, respectively on SDS-fibrin zymography activity assay.

Extracts from 65 species of mushrooms in mount Chiak were screened for their fibrinolytic activities. Extracts from Armillariella mellea, Calocybe sp., Lepista nuda and Trichaptum abietinum showed to have almost twice of activity of plasmin 1.5 U/ml, 193%, 213%, 198%, and 193% respectively. Collybia maculata showed 98% of activity, and Coprinus comatus and Lepiota sp. 56% and 58% activities, respectively. Other two, Agrocybe sp. and Stropharia rugosoannulata were less than 10% of activities.

Eight strains of Trichaptun (Polyporaceae), two strains from each species of T. abietinum, T. biforme, T. fusco-violaceum, and T. laricinum were examined to see their phylogenetic relationship by digesting mitochondrial DNAs with EcoRV, Hind III, XbaI, and PstI, and then analyzing fragmentation patterns with the methods of Nei and Li. T. abietinum, T. biforme, and T. laricinum developed an independent phylogenetic lineage, respectively, but T. fusco-violaceum FP-133997-sp showed a close relationship with two strains of T. bioforme, and T. fusco-violaceum HHB-4016-sp barely grouped with those of T. laricinum. Based on the results of the RFLP analysis of mtDNA, it is concluded that T. fusco-violaceum is under way to differentiation into two different subgroups.

The fungal flora of Korean wood-rotting fungi were studied for two years from March of 1990 to February of 1992. Fresh fungi were collected from national parks, local areas, and islands throughout the country. Fleshy fungi of the Aphyllophorales were identified through specimen examination and literature studies. Total 217 species and 1 variety were counted, among which Aleurodiscus cerussatus, Botryobasidium obtusisporum, Ceraceomyces cystidiatus, Erythricium hypnophilum, Grandinia crustosa, Grandinia spathulata, Hyphoderma praetermissum, Hyphoderma roseocremeum, Hypochnicium bombycinum, Hypochnicium detriticum, Hypochnicium lundellii, Laeticorticium roseum, Mycoacia fuscoatra, Peniophora incarnata, Phanerochaete avellanea, Phanerochaete filamentosa, Phanerochaete martelliana, Phlebia lilascens, and Trechispora vaga under the Corticiaceae, Chondrostereum purpureum and Cystostereum subabruptum under the Stereaceae, Tomentella pilosa under the Thelephoraceae, Asterostroma laxum, Hymenochaete cruenta, Hymenochaete fuliginosa, Hymenochaete tabacina, Inonotus radiatus, and Phellinus pomaceus under the Hymenochaetaceae, Antrodia crassa, Antrodia serialis, Ceriporia reticulata, Oligoporus balsameus, Oligoporus guttulatus, Oxyporus cuneatus, Rigidoporus microporus, and Trichaptum laricinum under the Polyporaceae, total 36 species were confirmed as unrecorded species to Korea and are registered here with Korean names and English descriptions.

Mushroom surveys and collections were conducted in the western and eastern forest areas in Cambodia, and then fungal biodiversity was analyzed by identifying mushrooms. One thousand and three hundreds eighty three specimens were identified by morphological and genetical characteristics, and were classified into 238 species, 160 genera, 52 families, 15 orders, and 3 phylums. The collected mushrooms were immersed in 70% ethyl alcohol for DNA extraction, and the rest of them were dried in the portable mushroom dryer for 12 hrs. Among these mushrooms, the genera Mycena (8.7%), Ganoderma (5.6%), Microporus (5.3%), Marasmius (4.2%), Marasmiellus (3.0%), Phellinus (2.5%), Trametes (2.5%), Hygrocybe (1.9%) and Pycnoporus (1.5%) were dominant. In the western Cambodia, 1,061 specimens were collected from Koh Kong forests, while 263 specimens were collected from the eastern Cambodia, Seima and Mondulkiri forests. Elevations of surveyed sites were ranged from 0 to 750 m above sea level. The number of species observed in the elevation of 251-500 m was the highest as compared to the other ranges of elevation. Daldinia concentrica, Microporus vernicipes, Microporus xanthopus, Pycnoporus coccineus, Stereum hirsutum, and Stereum ostrea were commonly distributed in all ranges of elevation, while the distribution of Ceratomyxa fruticulosa, Panus fulvus, Schizophyllum, Trametes versicolor, and Tyromyces chioneus were limited under 500 m. One hundred and forty one species including Amauroderma sp., Bjerkandera adusta, Trichaptum abietinum, and Tyromyces chioneus were collected only in Cardamom, while 20 species including Auricularia auricula-judae, Coriolopsis sanguinaria, Rigidoporus microporus, and Xylaria polymorpha were collected only in Seima. Ganoderma sp., Mycena sp., Marasmius sp., Microporus xanthopus, Phellinus sp., and Russula sp. were dominant species in both the western and eastern Cambodia. Species diversity indices in the eastern and western survey sites were 1.83 and 1.77, respectively, while evenness indices were 0.92 and 0.90. The species similarity index between two survey sites was 0.42.
