During the study of microbial structures in root-regions of tomato and red pepper from fields, various soil-inhabiting fungi were isolated with the dilution plate technique. Among them an ascomycete, Emericellopsis mirabilis and three hyphomycetes, Gliocladium solani, Humicola veronae and Verticillium chlamydosporium are presented for the first time in Korea along with Talaromyces trachyspermus, Chaetomium globosum and Doratomyces microsporus.

Two new fungal species of the genus Talaromyces, Talaromyces purpurogenus and Talaromyces trachyspermus from the Trichocomaceae family, were recovered during an investigation of fungal communities in soil collected from the Gangwon-do and Jeollanam-do provinces of Korea. These two species have not been previously officially reported from Korea. In this study, detailed descriptions of internal transcribed spacer rDNA and beta-tubulin gene regions of these two fungi are presented. Morphological features of the two fungi in five agar media, potato dextrose, oatmeal, malt extract, czapek yeast extract, and yeast extract sucrose, are also reported. The species were identified on the basis of molecular and morphological analysis, and herein we present data with detailed descriptions and figures.

Soil microfungi of the paddy fields in Korea were isolated by the dilution plate method from soil samples of two selected sites. It was concluded that 14 species among 30 species identified were undescribed fungi in Korea. Among them, 7 species of Ascomycetous fungi were described in this paper as new to Korea. Species of the genus Talaromyces were found to be dominant in paddy field soils and they consisted of Talaromyces flavus var. flavus, T. panasenroi, T.stipitalus and T.trachyspermus. Special attention was paid on the predominant occurrance of Westerdyrella multispora which produced globose to subglobose pseudothecia containing 32 spored asci with multiseptate, cylindrical ascospores. A cellulose decomposing ascomycete, Chaetomium globosum, was also found which produce black, ostiolate perithecia furnished with numerous, wavy to undulate terminal hairs. They contain evansecent, clubshaped, 8 spored asci with lemon-shaped, olive brown ascospores. Another ascomycte, Emericellopsis terricola with Acremonium anamorph, waas isolated from two sites.
