| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Preservation status of DNA information of mushroom specimens housed for a long time in museum herbarium has been evaluated. If we cannot obtain DNA information among herbarium specimens, we conducted alternative fieldwork and collected new specimens to complement the DNA information. Moreover, species taxonomy of unidentified specimens of mushrooms preserved in Japanese museum inferred from morphological characteristics and DNA information has been studied. As a result, we detected several Basidiomycete mushrooms regarded to new taxa or new to Japanese mycobiota. Furthermore, the necessity of taxonomic reexamination such as the presence of cryptic species was shown in several known species of mushrooms in Japan based on morphological observations and molecular phylogenetic analyses.
