초록

Bamboo is host to diverse range of fungi, however, research on bambusicolous fungi remains insignificant in Korea. The genus Apiospora is prevalent in various environments, particularly as endophytic fungi in Poaceae, to which bamboo belongs. In this study, endophytic fungi were isolated from stems of Pseudosasa japonica collected from Gongjusi, Korea. To identify these endophytic fungi, we observed morphological characteristics and conducted phylogenetic analysis using internal transcribed spacer (ITS), large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU), and β-tubulin (TUB2) DNA, identifying and describing an unrecorded fungus, Apiospora pseudosinensis.
