Abstract
This is a first part of work devoted highland rush endophytes: <em>Penicillium expansum, Cladosporium oxysporum, Arthrinium</em> state of <em>Apiospora montagnei</em> and <em>Aureobasidium pullulans</em>. The basidiomycete strain, possibly <em>Lagarobasidium detriticum</em> was also isolated.
Highlights
Asymptomal fungal infections within tissues of healthy plants is a basic character of endophytic fungi
According to Clay (1989) and White (1987) clavicipitaceous endophytes are widely distributed in the grass family Poaceae and sporadically distributed in Cyperaceae and Juncaceae
Other non-clavicipitaceous endophytes were noted in grasses and rarely in rushes
Summary
Asymptomal fungal infections within tissues of healthy plants is a basic character of endophytic fungi. These fungi can be dormant saprotrophs, latent pathogen as well as mutualistic symbionts (Stone et al 2000). Fungal endophytes belong to different taxonomical groups of fungi such as Ascomycetes and their anamorphs, mitosporic fungi and very rare basidiomycetous fungi. According to Clay (1989) and White (1987) clavicipitaceous endophytes are widely distributed in the grass family Poaceae and sporadically distributed in Cyperaceae and Juncaceae. Other non-clavicipitaceous endophytes were noted in grasses (see Larran et al 2002) and rarely in rushes. Perennial rushes were inhabited by limited diversity of fungal species, mostly anamorphs and
