ABSTRACT

In this study, endophytic fungi were isolated from leaves of four species of woody plants, Acer tagmentosum, Larix kaempferi, Abies holophylla, and Pinus koraiensis, on Mt. Hambaek, Gangwondo, Korea. The endophytic fungi were identified using morphological and sequences analysis of ITS regions. The fungal endophytes were identified as Talaromyces radicus, Myceliophthora verrucosa, Cryptosporiopsis diversispora, and Sphaerulina berberidis, which are the first record in Korea. The morphological and molecular phylogenetic characteristics of each strain were described.
