We analysed 40 isolates of species Armillaria. borealis, A. cepistipes, A. gallica, A. mellea, A. ostoyae and A. tabescens, mostly collected in the Czech Republic, by PCR-RFLP of the ITS rRNA genes using the restriction endonucleases AluI, HinfI and MboI. Restriction fragments were analysed by ion-exchange high performance liquid chromatography which proved to be more useful informative, and less time-consuming than classical electrophoresis on agarose gel. The HPLC method enabled detection of some heterozygous strains. HinfI discriminated between all six species. Ten isolates were sequenced to confirm changes in restriction sites found by restriction analysis. Cluster analysis based on the restrictions patterns of restriction endonucleases AluI and HinfI divided the analysed species into three groups. The first and the most distant group contained all A. mellea isolates, the second group was formed by A. tabescens and the third group contained species A. borealis, A. cepistipes, A. gallica and A. ostoyae. The A. tabescens group was very homogenous regardless of the origin of isolates (Czech Republic, France and Finland).

Article Synopsis
- Armillaria species are significant global pathogens that can form large, long-lasting clones and spread both through spores and specialized structures called rhizomorphs.
- Researchers investigated the virus infections in Armillaria isolates from three species and discovered both negative and positive-sense RNA viruses, with no dsRNA viruses identified.
- The study identified potential new virus families and showed that thermal treatment can cure Armillaria isolates of these viruses, allowing further study on their impact on host growth and characteristics.

Armillaria possesses several intriguing characteristics that have inspired wide interest in understanding phylogenetic relationships within and among species of this genus. Nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence-based analyses of Armillaria provide only limited information for phylogenetic studies among widely divergent taxa. More recent studies have shown that translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1) sequences are highly informative for phylogenetic analysis of Armillaria species within diverse global regions.

In this paper we highlight and critically discuss limitations to molecular methods for identification of fungi via the example of the basidiomycete genus Armillaria. We analyzed a total of 144 sequences of three DNA regions commonly used for identifying fungi (ribosomal IGS-1 and ITS regions, translation elongation factor-1 alpha gene) from 48 specimens of six Armillaria species occurring in Europe (A. cepistipes, A.

Armillaria species are plant pathogens that cause Armillaria root rot and are known to cause mortality of mountain pines (Pinus mugo) in the Swiss National Park in the Central Alps. The identity of isolates and the spatially explicit population structure of the Armillaria species were investigated in a 3.3km(2) study area in the Swiss National Park.
