Sordariomycetes is the second largest class within the Ascomycota and an ecologically and economically important group in fungal taxonomy. As a result of investigating fungal diversity in the soil of Anseong, Cheonan, Wando, and Jeju Island, we identified six species belonging to Sordariomycetes that had not been previously recorded in Korea. To confirm the taxonomic position of these species, we performed morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses based on the nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), 28S ribosomal RNA gene (LSU rDNA), TEF1-α gene (TEF1-α), β-tubulin gene (β-TUB), and RNA polymerase II gene (RPB2). As a result, six species (Cladorrhinum samala, Fusarium miscanthi, Gymnascella dankaliensis, Microascus gracilis, Papulaspora equi, and Paecilomyces purpureus) were listed as newly confirmed species in Korea.
