A total of 6125 fungal endophytes were isolated from 9000 leaf segments of 15 medicinal shrubs growing in Malnad region of Western Ghats, Southern India, during winter, monsoon, and summer seasons. These fungal isolates belonged to Ascomycota (8.6%), Coelomycetes (26.0%), Hyphomycetes (28.0%), Mucoromycotina (0.3%) and sterile forms (4.9%). Alternaria, Chuetomium, Fusarium, Colletotrichum, Cladosporium, Penicillium, Phyllosticta and Xylaria were the most frequently isolated. Significantly more isolates were obtained during the winter season than monsoon and summer seasons. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd and The British Mycological Society. All rights reserved.
