We isolated endophytic fungal strains from roots of Rhododendron schlippenbachii growing in Minjujisan mountain, Korea. The two strains were identified as Engyodontium album and Phaeosphaeria microscopica based on their morphological characteristics and sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit regions of the ribosomal DNA. These two species, E. album and P. microscopica, have not been previously reported in Korea.
