The fungal strain KNU16-004 was isolated from a field soil sample collected in Seoul. The isolate was identified as Leptosphaerulina australis based on morphological characterization and phylogenetic analysis using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), large subunit (LSU) rDNA regions, and β-tubulin (Tub2). This is the first report of Leptosphaerulina australis in Korea.
