We isolated endophytic fungi from the roots of Quercus spp. in Korea. The isolates were identified based on morphological and molecular characteristics from the nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer and large subunit of rDNA regions. We confirmed that the four species we isolated – Oidiodendron citrinum, Acremonium crotocinigenum, Mammaria echinobotryoides, and Pleotrichocladium opacum – have not been recorded previously in Korea. Herein, we present their morphological characteristics and the result of phylogenetic analysis.
