abstract = {Phylogenetic and genetic relationships among 10 North American Armillaria species were analyzed using sequence data from ribosomal DNA (rDNA) including intergenic spacer (IGS-1), internal transcribed spacer, 5.8S rDNA (ITS+5.8S), and nuclear large subunit rDNA (nLSU), and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Based on rDNA sequence data, the nLSU region is less variable among Armillaria species than the ITS+5.8S and IGS-1 regions (nLSU<ITS+5.8S<IGS-1). Phylogenetic analyses of the rDNA sequences suggested A. mellea, A. tabescens, and A. nabsnona are well-separated from the remaining Armillaria species (A. ostoyae, A. gemina, A. calvescens, A. sinapina, A. gallica, NABS X, and A. cepestipes). Several Armillaria species (A. calvescens, A. sinapina, A. gallica, NABS X, and A. cepestipes) clustered together based on rDNA sequencing data; however, AFLP data provided delineation among these species. AFLP analysis supported taxonomic classification established by conventional methods (morphology and interfertility tests). Several AFLP genetic markers offer potential for distinguishing currently available North American Biological Species of Armillaria in future biological and taxonomical studies.}
