Three aquatic fungi were isolated from samples of freshwater-deposited plant litter and foam collected in Samcheok, Gangwon-do, and Yeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. Based on their morphological characteristics and a phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA region, the three isolates NNIBRFG329, NNIBRFG339, and NNIBRFG19 were confirmed as aquatic fungi: Articulospora tetracladia, Margaritispora aquatica, and Aquanectria penicillioides. These species were known as aquatic fungi but neither species has been previously reported in Korea.
