Preliminary identification based on morphological characteristics showed that the fungal isolates belong to the genus Cephalotrichum. Two species namely C. asperulum and C. gorgonifer were identified by combining morphology and phylogeny inferred from ITS-rDNA sequence. To our knowledge, C. gorgonifer is a new record for the Iranian Funga. Moreoverpistachio is matrix nova for C. aspeerulum and C. gorgonifer. %U https://mij.areeo.ac.ir/article_125472_d4d86e3dc418d67f1b8281ee9b92cce5.pdf
