Summary:Endangered native plant habitats and populations are rapidly disappearing because of climate and environmental changes. As a representative, the abundance of the first-class endangered wild plant, , has been rapidly decreasing in Korea. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the distribution of rhizosphere and endophytic fungi on in its native habitat. A total of 440 rhizosphere and 79 endosphere fungi isolates were isolated and identified on the basis of their molecular characteristics. Sixty-five genera and 119 fungi species were identified in this study. The genus showed the highest abundance among both rhizosphere and endosphere fungi. , , and spp. were also relatively dominant species on . The community structures of rhizosphere and endosphere fungi were similar, but endosphere fungi showed greater diversity.
