Electrophoretic karyotype analyses of Flammulina velutipes FSB and its monokaryotic progeny, omFSB1 and omFSB2, obtained from oidia were performed by contour-clamped homogeneous electric field (CHEF) gel electrophoresis. At least 11 chromosome-sized DNA bands (CB 1 through CB 11) for FSB, 6 bands for omFSB1, and 7 bands for omFSB2, respectively, were resolved on a CHEF gel. Southern hybridization analysis on CHEF-separated chromosomal DNA of FSB was carried out using RAPD marker probes prepared from each of the 12 linkage groups. The bands CB 1, 2, and 4 each hybridized to two or three probes for different linkage groups. The bands CB 5 and 6 both hybridized to a common probe. The bands CB 3, 7, 8, and 9 each hybridized to a single specific probe for different linkage groups. The two smallest bands (CB 10 and 11) did not hybridize with any probes.
