In this study, we aimed to observe the diversity of aquatic fungi by collecting deposits of soil, plants, and plant litter from streams and rivers. Three Penicillium strains were isolated from soil in streams. Based on the morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis using DNA sequences of the internal transcribed spacer, ß-tubulin and calmodulin genes, the isolates were identified as Penicillium guanacastense, P. saturniforme, and P. scabrosum. These three fungi have not yet been reported in Korea.
