Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important food crops in Korea. In July 2021 and 2022, dark black-rot symptoms with pink tinges were observed on field-grown potato tubers in Hongsung and Chuncheon, Korea, respectively. We obtained four isolates (HSv05 and HSv10 from Hongsung, and CCp03 and CCp05 from Chuncheon) from diseased tubers and identified these isolates as Pythium aphanidermatum by analyzing the sequences of internal transcribed spacer rDNA region and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (COX2) mtDNA gene. Additionally, we compared the cultural and morphological characteristics of these four isolates with those of the reference isolate KACC 48066 of P. aphanidermatum and the literature. Further, we tested the pathogenicity of all these isolates against potato tubers. The cultural and morphological characteristics of the four test isolates were similar to those of the reference isolate and the literature; all four test isolates proved pathogenic to potato tubers. Therefore, we concluded that P. aphanidermatum is the causal agent of potato leak and this is the first report of the disease on potato in Korea.
