Objective To identify Cordyceps sinensis from different habitats in Qinghai Province of China and estimate their genetic variation, affinity, and regional distribution. Methods Morphological characters and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were analyzed among the C. sinensis samples from 11 Counties in Qinghai Province. Results Significant genetic variations were detected in both morphological characters and ISSR polymorphisms among these C. sinensis samples. Data from morphological analysis showed that these C. sinensis samples could be approximately divided into three groups, which distributed around the Qinghai Lake, middle east, and south areas in Qinghai Province, respectively. However it was arduous and ambiguous to identify the specific samples only by morphological characters. Based on the analysis of ISSR markers, C. sinensis of Qinghai Province could be classified into two major groups. One included the samples from the areas around the Qinghai Lake and another from the other two areas, one of which could be further divided into three subgroups, well correlated with the different habitats of south, center, and east areas in Qinghai Province, respectively. Conclusion C. sinensis with genetic variation and affinity in Qinghai Province distributes widely according to their living environment. ISSR analysis is an effective tool in identifying C. sinensis samples and determining their genetic affinity particularly when combined with the analysis of morphological characters.
