In order to contribute to the knowledge of endophytic fungi of Phragmites australis (Poaceae) in Iran, seventeen isolates were recovered from the leaves, stems and roots of healthy common reed plants collected from five different sites around Lake Urmia in the East and West Azarbaijan provinces, Iran. Five different species viz Achroiostachys betulicola, Ac. humicola, Cephalotrichum tenuissimum, Myrmecridium schulzeri, and Priconia igniaria were identified based on morphological characteristics and phylogeny inferred from nuclear internal ribosomal transcribed spacer sequence (ITS-rDNA). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of Ac. betulicola and Ac. humicola for the Funga of Iran. In addition, this study provided new insights into the distribution and host range of the identified species.
