Due to abundance and diversity of fungi and endophytic fungi. Documentation of fungi and endophytic fungi are important work in the scientific research area and also fungi and endophytic fungi are a major resource of various applications. Hence, to duplicate the application of particular fungi in the Lab, their known identity should be known to the new researchers it also helpful to avoid the repetition of fungi in discovery of fungi. Taxonomic details resolve this problem of identification, therefore fungi and endophytic fungi taxonomic details are important to the researchers.
