The composition of endophytic fungal species from Pinus koraiensis was studied in two areas (Yeongwol and Jincheon), Korea. To identify 113 isolates, rDNA ITS regions were sequenced. On the basis of the ITS sequence, Pestalotiopsis sp. was the most frequently isolated species in both areas. Pestalotiopsis sp. (68.5%) and Lambertella sp. (12.4%) were isolated frequently in Yeongwol, whereas Pestalotiopsis sp. (41.7%), Hypoxylon sp. (20.8%) and Phomopsis sp. (12.4%) were dominant in Jincheon. Hypoxylon sp. and Phomopsis sp. were not found in Yeongwol.
