The fungal strain, designated KNU16-008, was isolated from field soil in Chungcheongnam-do, Korea. The isolated fungi was characterized by morphological and phylogenetic analyses. Isolated fungus showed typical morphological characteristics of the genus Sporothrix. Based on its phylogenic analysis using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of rDNA and β-tubulin gene sequences, the strain KNU16-008 was identified as Sporothrix stylites. This species has not been previously reported in Korea.
