Abstract
A new species of Neosartorya was recovered during investigation of the fungal community in soil samples collected
from different locations in Korea; Neosartorya aureola KNU14-7 was isolated for the first time from field soil in Korea and
identified based on the internal transcribed spacer region of rDNA and morphological characteristics. The species has not been
officially reported from Korea and we report it here with description and figures.
