Abstract

(Trichocomaceae, Eurotiales, and Ascomycota) is a genus of well-defined asexual spore-forming fungi that produce valuable compounds such as secondary metabolites and enzymes; however, some species are also responsible for diseases in plants and animals, including humans. To date, 26 species have been reported in Korea, with most species located in terrestrial environments. In our study, species were isolated from mudflats and sea sand along the western and southern coasts of Korea. A total of 84 strains were isolated and identified as 17 species in 11 sections on the basis of both morphological characteristics and sequence analysis of the calmodulin gene () locus. Commonly isolated species were (26 strains), (14 strains), and (10 strains). The diversity of species isolated from mudflats (13 species) was higher than the diversity of those from sea sand (five species). Four identified species-, , , and -are in the first records in Korea. Here, we provide detailed descriptions of the morphological characteristics of these four species.
