Despite the huge worldwide diversity of (, ), only about 22 species have been reported in Korea. Thus, between 2013 and 2015, soil-derived spp. were isolated to reveal the diversity of Korean . Phylogenetic analysis of translation elongation factor 1 alpha gene was used for identification. Among the soil-derived , , , , , and have not been previously reported in Korea. Thus, we report the five species as new in Korea with morphological descriptions and images.
