Researchers discovered six previously unknown mushroom species in Mudeungsan National Park in southern Korea. These species were identified using both traditional microscopic examination and modern DNA analysis techniques. The findings show that despite being a major protected area, the park’s fungal diversity remains incompletely documented, suggesting more undiscovered species may exist there. Some of these mushrooms are notable for having bioactive properties with potential medicinal applications.
