However, specific mycobiome composition of terrestrial isopods remains unknown. Therefore, in this study, we investigated and compared the fungal communities associated with the two terrestrial isopods, Armadillidium vulgare and Spherillo obscurus, which co-occur in island habitats in South Korea. Through metabarcoding based on the internal transcribed spacer region, we characterized fungal communities using 16 individuals collected from the Heuksan and Eocheong Islands. In total, 252 operational taxonomic units were identified, of which 27 were shared between the two hosts. Comparatively, S. obscurus harbored a significantly more diverse and phylogenetically rich fungal community, including taxa from Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Mortierellomycota, whereas A. vulgare was largely dominated by Mycosphaerella (Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota). Alpha and beta diversity analyses revealed the host-associated enrichment, rather than the geographic location, as the primary factor influencing the mycobiome composition. Linear discriminant analysis further revealed host specialists, with distinct fungal taxa showing preferential associations with each isopod species. Our findings suggest that host identity strongly influences the fungal community assembly in isopods and that S. obscurus supports diverse ecological niches for fungal colonization. Overall, this study provides novel insights into host-fungus interactions and expands the current understanding of symbiotic mycobiomes in soil macroinvertebrates.","PeriodicalId":18825,"journal":{"name":"Mycobiology","volume":"53 4","pages":"520-530"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12217116/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144553913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are also a vital tourist resource in many countries. However, cherry trees are frequently affected by brown shot-hole disease. In the early stages of this disease, brown, round spots appear on the leaves. As the symptoms worsen, some tissue falls off, forming shot hole-shaped lesions. Severely affected cherry trees may lose most leaves prematurely, reducing photosynthesis and affecting the number of blossoms the following year. Mycosphaerella cerasella has been identified as the primary causal pathogen of brown shot-hole disease in Korea. However, other fungal species can also cause shot-hole symptoms on plant leaves. Therefore, it is important to investigate the pathogens responsible for brown shot-hole disease in cherry trees. In this study, we isolated, identified, and analyzed the pathogenicity of fungi from cherry tree leaves infected with brown shot-hole disease collected from nationwide Korea. Our findings indicate that fungi from the genera Alternaria, Diaporthe, Epicoccum, and Botryosphaeria were frequently isolated from symptomatic leaves. Additionally, we observed regional differences in pathogen distribution. Based on these results, we propose that these four genera are the major fungal pathogens responsible for brown shot-hole disease in cherry trees in Korea.","PeriodicalId":18825,"journal":{"name":"Mycobiology","volume":"53 4","pages":"495-506"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12217105/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144553914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, research on macrofungal diversity remains limited, particularly in ecologically preserved regions where long-term monitoring is crucial. Kyodong Island, located near the Military Demarcation Line in the Republic of Korea, has remained relatively isolated, making it a valuable site for studying fungal biodiversity. This study aimed to assess the macrofungal diversity of Kyodong Island, marking the first large-scale and comprehensive fungal survey. Between March and September 2024, 226 fungal specimens were collected and identified into 99 species based on morphological and molecular analyses. Six previously unrecorded species from Korea were confirmed in this study: Hypoxylon ticinense from the Ascomycota and five species from Basidiomycota (Amanita subovalispora, Collybiopsis hirtella, Hohenbuehelia grisea, Pseudosperma yunnanense, and Russula pseudojaponica). The results revealed a high diversity of saprotrophic fungi (79.8%) followed by ectomycorrhizal (19.19%) and parasitic (1.01%) species, with dominant genera including Amanita and Collybiopsis. Notably, the presence of fungal species previously documented in tropical climates suggests a possible northward shift in fungal distribution, likely influenced by climate change. These findings highlight the ecological importance of Kyodong Island as a reservoir of fungal diversity and emphasize the necessity of continued biodiversity monitoring. Future research should focus on long-term ecological monitoring, the effects of climate change and human impact on fungal distribution, and the functional roles of newly recorded species in sustaining forest ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":18825,"journal":{"name":"Mycobiology","volume":"53 4","pages":"466-479"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12203687/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144528941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
