Table 1. Improvement of PCR and sequencing success rates using ITS1 mini-barcodes.

Genus PCR Positive Sequence Positive
Cortinarius 30/30 (100%) 24/30 (80%)
Russula 30/30 (100%) 27/30 (90%)
Mycena 27/30 (90%) 4/30 (13%)

PCR and sequencing success rates are shown for 30 randomly-selected samples from 3 macrofungal genera; samples were previously negative for full-length ITS1+5.8S+ITS2 amplification.
