This study aimed to analyse genetic relationship of Phellinus linteus complex isolates collected in Korea. P. linteus have reported a variety of medical efficacies, including immunomodulator, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer. P. linteus is called Sanghwang, Sanghaung, Meshimakobu mushrooms in Korea, China, and Japan. Numerous medicinal and biochemical studies of Sanghwang mushroom were mostly focused on P. linteus. However, P. linteus is morphologically similar to P. baumii, P. lonicericola, P. vaninii, and P. weigelae and thus it was suggested the Phellinus spp. should be classically included in P. linteus complex. The wild type collections of Phellinus spp. in Korea were identified in the basis of Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequences and further the P. linteus complex isolates are classified by URP-PCR profiles at inter and intra-species levels.
