The present study reports 16 species of Ascomycota that were previously unknown in Korea, namely Acremonium cellulolyticus (KNU14-25), Acremonium zonatum (KNU14-15), Chaetomium madrasense (KNU14-9), Cladosporium silenes (KNU 14-18-1), Humicolopsis cephalosporioides (KNU15-3), Leptosphaerulina chartarum (KNU14-16), Paecilomyces marquandii (KNU14- 8), Paecilomyces tenuis (KNU14-18-2), Paraphaeosphaeria sporulosa (KNU15-2), Penicillium rubidurum (KNU14-12), Pochonia suchlasporia (KNU15-6), Sporothrix inflata (KNU15-8), Thielavia hyrcaniae (KNU15-1), Thielavia terricola (KNU14-23-1), Xylogone sphaerospora (KNU15-7), and Zopfiella longicaudata (KNU15-5). These fungal species were isolated from soil samples collected from various regions of Korea and identified based on their morphological characteristics and rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequence data. Full descriptions and illustrations for each species are provided.
