Taxonomical studies of soil-borne fungi were performed. Soil samples were collected from greenhouses located in Jinju-City, Korea. Soil dilution plating method was adopted for the pure isolation. Seven ascomycetous fungi were isolated from the soil samples, and subsequently identified. Among them, five isolates, Chaetomium brasiliense, C. indicum, Corynascus sepedonium, Petriella sordida, and Thielavia fragilis have never been reported in Korea. Both teleomorphic and anamorphic states were observed in the two species, Corynascus sepedonium and Petriella sordida, and only teleomorphic state was observed in Thielavia fragilis, Chaetomium indicum, and Chaetomium brasiliense. Illustrated descriptions are presented for the isolates examined in the present study.
