Sequence comparison of available Fomes fomentarius (L.) J. Kickx f. internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of ribosomal DNA sequences demonstrated genetic non-homogeneity of the species. Multiple sequence alignment indicated the presence of two genotypes with overall similarity of about 97% and a strong statistics support. Rapid and reliable method for discrimination of F. fomentarius genotypes based on restriction digestion of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified ITS sequences was developed. BseNI and SchI restriction endonucleases were found to clearly discriminate between two F. fomentarius genotypes. The method was used to study the variability in F. fomentarius isolates collected from natural forest reserves in Vihorlat Mountains (East Slovakia). In most localities both genotypes occur concurrently. The isolates belonging to the genotype A were found to be prevalent on beech (Fagus sylvatica), while genotype B tends to be found mainly on other hosts. The grouping of selected isolates was confirmed by sequence analysis. Our results indicate that F. fomentarius includes at least two sympatric cryptic species.
