title: [Isolation and identification of endophytic fungi from Ligusticum].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the correlation between entophytic fungal community, habitations and varieties of Ligusticum.
  
  
  METHODS
  The solidified potato dextrose agar (PDA) of plates was applied for the isolation of the endophytic fungi, and the identification was completed by spot-planting method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Fifty strains of the entophytic fungi were isolated from the rhizome of L. chuanxiong collected from 6 habitations. They were morphologically identified as belonging to 13 genera, 4 families, 3 orders and 1 class.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There were some differences at quantity, species and distributing of the entophytic fungi in different habitats and varieties of Ligusticum, which was suggested that entophytic fungal community is related with specific habitat.
