Three fungal isolates, NNIBRFG108, 1139, and 1480, were isolated from freshwater environments; NNIBRFG108 from plant litter in Samcheok, Gangwon and NNIBRFG1139 and 1480 from the soil in Jeju & Gimcheon, Gyeongbuk, Korea. Based on the morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of internal tanscribed spacer (ITS), 28S rDNA region, and β-tubulin gene, NNIBRFG108, NNIBRFG1139, and NNIBRFG1480 isolates were confirmed as Didymella segeticola, D. ellipsoidea, and D. aeria, respectively. Neither species has previously been described in Korea.
