The objectives of this study was to identify genetic variations of Tricholoma matsutake (S. Ito et Imai) Sing. growing in different geographic ranges in South Korea. Mushrooms were collected during fruiting seasons from 1994 to 1997 from 11 major sites which included four sites (Bonghwa, Uljin, Goryoung, and Chungdo) in Kyongbuk Province, three sites (Changnyung, Hadong, and Hamyang) in Kyongnam Province, two sites (Yangyang and Inje) in Kangwon Province, one site (Goisan) in Choongbuk Province, and one site (Namwon) in Chonbuk Province. Two mushrooms each from three to eight shiros in each sites were collected. Genetic characteristics were analyzed by Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat Polymerase Chain Reaction (I-SSR PCR) method using six primers. With a total of 131 DNA bands identified, Nei's genetic distance and UPGMA tree were constructed. It was estimated that genetic variations between sites amounted to 12.9%, while 87.1% of total variation was explained by variations among individuals within sites. The cluster analysis indicated that the eleven major sites were clustered into four groups, group 1 (Yangyang, Hamyang, Inje, Hadong and Uljin), group 2 (Changnyung, Namwon and Chungdo), group 3 (Goryoung), and group 4 (Bonghwa and Goisan). It is concluded that matsutake mushrooms in South Korea have a considerable degree of genetic variations between major sites.
