Abstract
We report two previously unrecorded endophytic fungal species belonging to the order Xylariales—Hypoxylon vinosopulvinatum and Apiospora sasae—collected from Torreya nucifera and Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis, respectively, in Korea. Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses based on internal transcribed spacer region, large subunit ribosomal RNA gene, β-tubulin gene, and translation elongation factor 1-α region confirmed the isolates as H. vinosopulvinatum and A. sasae, respectively. These findings expand our knowledge of the fungal biodiversity in Korean forest ecosystems and highlight the ecological significance of endophytic Xylariales.
