Aphanoascus fulvescens KNU16-343 was isolated from crop field soil and identified based on morphological and molecular characteristics. The shape and size of conidia and conidiophores, as well as the internal transcribed spacer region of rDNA, confirmed that the isolate was A. fulvescens. This is the first report of this fungal species in Korea.
