We isolated endophytic fungi from the conifer leaves of Pinus densiflora inhabiting Buan-gun, Jeollabuk-do, Korea. We identified the isolated fungal strains based on phylogenetic analysis performed using the nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer, large subunit, and beta-tubulin. We confirmed the presence of three novel endophytic fungi in Korea, namely Paracamarosporium hawaiiense, Tubakia dryina, and Zasmidium fructigenum. In this report, we described the morphological characteristics of these fungal strains and the results of their phylogenetic analysis.
