Abstract:

In order to accurately master the wild morel species distributed in Yongxing Township, Chuxiong Prefecture and their occurrence patterns, to promote the long-term protection, utilization, cultivation and domestication research of local wild morel resources, a survey of wild morel resources was conducted at five locations including Naruan, Xiaozhuang, Guanyinsi, Huiba, and Lagu in the Yongxing area. Combined with the morphological characteristics of the fruiting bodies, molecular identification technology was used to conduct molecular identification and naming of the selected five samples. The results showed that the fruiting time of wild morels in the Yongxing area was from the end of September to the second half of October, and they mostly occurred 1-3 days after rainfall. The growth environment was mainly broad-leaved mixed forests dominated by oak trees and birch trees. Constructing a phylogenetic tree based only on ITS indicated that the five morel samples all belonged to the yellow morel group, but all species within the genus Morchella cannot be accurately distinguished. Using the multi-gene lineage consistency species identification method to construct a phylogenetic tree based on the combination of ITS+LSU+EF1-a+RPB1+RPB2 showed that the morels distributed in the Yongxing area were two yellow lineage species, Morchella sp. Mes-15 and Morchella sp. Mes-19, which was the first report.
