Abstract
We isolated endophytic fungi from the coniferous leaves of Abies koreana and Taxus cuspidata inhabiting Mt. Hallasan, Korea. The isolated fungal strains were identified based on a phylogenetic analysis using nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region, large subunit region of ribosomal DNA, and translation elongation factor region. Results confirmed four prevously unreported endophytic fungi in Korea: Lachnellula hyalina, Ochrocladosporium elatum, Phacidium lacerum, and Phyllosticta cussoniae. In this report, we describe the morphological characteristics of these fungi and the results of the phylogenetic analysis.
